SETMOS: a novel true hybrid SET-CMOS high current Coulomb blockade oscillation cell for future nano-scale analog ICs

Abstract

We have proposed and validated a true hybrid SET/CMOS device, called SETMOS, that is able to extend the Coulomb blockade oscillations of a SET transistor into the /spl mu/A current range, corresponding to near sub-threshold operation region of a nanometer-scale MOSFET. New nano-scale analog applications, working at sub-ambient temperatures (-150/spl deg/C up to 100/spl deg/C), including a novel NDR circuit, amplifiers, and even NEMS-SETMOS circuit cells are uniquely supported by SETMOS.
