Abstract :
For extremely low-power logic, three very new and promising techniques will be described. The first are methods on circuit and system level for reduced supply voltages. In large logic blocks, interconnect becomes a main issue, that could be solved by on-chip optical interconnect. Nano-devices will also be presented, as a possibility to compute with nearly zero power, and compared to future 10 nanometers transistors.
