Abstract :
In this paper, we introduced for the first time the energy-reversible complementary nanoelectromechanical (ER CNEM) logic gates and demonstrated their superiority over the conventional relays in terms of voltage, energy, and reliability. The ER CNEM logic a promising candidate for low standby and low operating power applications.
