Design and Simulation of Logic Circuits with Hybrid Architectures of Single Electron Transistors and Conventional Devices

Single electron transistor is a nanoelectronic three terminal device. It provides current conduction characteristics comparable to a MOSFET. In this paper, the authors have designed and simulated logic circuit architectures with a combination of SET and conventional devices such as MOSFETs and comparators. The performances of these hybrid architectures and their advantages and disadvantages with SET standalone circuits have also been studied
