Quantum dot Cellular Automata (QCA) technology is a possible CMOS substitute. It requires a clock-like signal to assure information propagation. This likens a QCA circuit to a fully pipelined architecture, where pipeline depth is layout dependent. Only asynchronous organization of architectural blocks enables the realization of complex circuits. The use of Null Convention Logic (NCL) is one amo...

Nanotechnology is derived from the evolution of microelectronics towards miniaturization. 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.
