Silicon self-switching-device based logic gates operating at room temperature

Abstract

This paper presents first functional operational results of logic gates based on Silicon nano scale self switching devices (SSDs) and side gated transistors (SGTs). The devices are manufactured with Silicon-on- Insulator (SOU technology and are operative in room temperature. The circuits show correct logic operation. The performance parameters are still short of practical values, but ways of bringing them to acceptable level for real applications are discussed.
