Abstract :
The design and simulation of a single-electron 4-1 complementary multiplexer is being presented using two Monte Carlo based tools. Both the behavior and the stability of the circuit were verified while its free energy and its speed were also examined and analyzed. The results confirmed that the circuit behaved as a complementary multiplexer. Moreover, the currents through the circuit were examined under the operating temperature, while a stable operation of the circuit was verified without any noise present at the output points.
