Evolution of microelectronics towards miniaturization is one of the main motivations for Nanotechnology. CMOS Technology has been targeted to integrate more and more Devices per unit area of Silicon-substrate, but there is limitation in scaling-down CMOS Circuits/Devices. Like Nanotechnology, QCA (Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata) is another alternate Technology having ability to reduce the Device...

Recent experiments have demonstrated a working cell suitable for implementing the quantum-dot cellular automata ~QCA! paradigm. These experiments have been performed using metal-island clusters. The most promising approach to QCA operation involves quasiadiabatically switching the cells. This has been analyzed extensively in gated semiconductor cells. Here we present a metal-island cell structu...

Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is one of the candidates among future nanoelectronic computing technologies. QCA is based on cells of coupled quantum dots. The QCA cells have features on the very low nanometer scale, much smaller than the present state of art size of the smallest transistor. The physical interaction between neighbouring cells has been exploited in the implementation of logi...

Improved layout of QCA(quantum-dot cellular automata)based PLA (programmable logic array) that enhance the defect tolerance is proposed, in order to develop next generation circuit technology that replace the conventional CMOS technology. We analyze which QCA device (quantum-dot cell) limits the defect tolerance of the AND/OR plane cell of the QCA-PLA by using QCA circuit simulator or QCADesign...

In nanotechnologies, quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) offer promising and attractive features for nano-scale computing. QCA effectively overcomes the scaling shortfalls of CMOS technology. One of the variants of QCA is 4 Dot 2 Electron QCA which is well explored and researched. The main concentration of this study is on 2 Dot 1 Electron QCA, an emerging variant of QCA. A novel and efficient ...

   Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology has been the industry standard to implement Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) devices for the last two decades. Due to the consequences of miniaturization of such devices (i.e. increasing switching speeds, increasing complexity and decreasing power consumption), it is essential to replace them with a new technology. Quantum-dot c...

J. Watrous introduced the notion of quantum cellular automata(QCA) and showed that any quantum Turing machine can be efficiently simulated by a QCA with constant slowdown in 1995. CA with quantum cells is well-formed QCA if and only if its global transition function is unitary. Generally quantumization of cells of a classical CA dose not make it become QCA, because usually classical CA dose not...

In this paper, a novel quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) adder design is presented that reduces the number of QCA cells compared to previously reported designs. The proposed one-bit QCA adder structure is based on a new algorithm that requires only three majority gates and two inverters for the QCA addition. By connecting n one-bit QCA adders, we can obtain an n-bit carry look-ahead adder wit...

The ultimate nanodevice is the “quantum dot” since that implies confinement in all three dimensions. Heretofore, no Boolean logic scheme has been proposed that is based on coupling of quantum dots. A team of researchers at the University of Notre Dame has devised and demonstrated the fundamental properties of a computing paradigm called “Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA)” QCA could be accompl...

Restoring and non-restoring divider has become widely applicability in the era of digital computing application due to its computation speed. In this paper, we have proposed the design of divider of different architecture for the computation of Vedic sutra based. The design of divider in the Vedic mode results in high computation throughput due to its replica architecture, where latency is mini...
