Ternary multiplier of multigate single electron transistor: Design using 3-T gate

Due to the single electron transistor has the characteristics coulomb oscillation and adjustable threshold voltage, the single electron transistor is adapted to design the multiple value circuit. In this paper, a ternary multiplier is designed based on multigate single electron transistor, and the design uses the 3-T gate. The designed circuits have been simulated by SPICE. The results of simulation indicate the proposed ternary multiplier circuit has the excellence of simpler structure, smaller signal delay and lower power.
