Efficient logic architectures for CMOL nanoelectronic circuits

CMOS molecular (CMOL) circuits promise great opportunities for future hybrid nano-scale IC implementation. Two new CMOL building blocks using transmission gates have been introduced to obtain efficient combinational and sequential logic for CMOL designs. Compared with the existing CMOL circuits, the proposed CMOL designs based on these blocks can achieve more than 30% improvement in speed and up to 80% improvement in density and power consumption while providing similar fault tolerance capabilities. This work significantly advances the applications of CMOL to actual electronic circuits and systems.
