Full Adder Operation Based on Si Nanodot Array Device with Multiple Inputs and Outputs

Device Concept

Nanodot arrays should be the most effective structure for achieving low power consumption if we can implement high functionality. The larger the nanodot array, the more suitable it is for low power operation because the wiring is reduced more. Consequently, our ultimate goal is to build a very large nanodot array on which many input gates are attached so as to couple capacitively with many nanodots. It should also have many current output terminals because important, highly functional circuits, such as multibit adder circuits, generally need multiple outputs as well as multiple inputs.
