Single-electron devices (SEDs) are attracting a lot of attention because of their capability of
manipulating just one electron. For their operation, they utilize the Coulomb blockade (CB) …

The ultimate goal of future information processing might be the realization of a circuit in
which one bit is represented by a single electron. Such a challenging circuit would comprise …

Devices that combine single-electron and metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistors are
newly proposed as basic components of multiple-valued (MV) logic, such as a universal …

This paper proposes, for the first time, the concept of programmable logic circuit realized
with single-electron transistors (SETs). An SET having nonvolatile memory function is a key …

Publisher Summary The aim of this chapter is to review the prospects for the development
and practical introduction of ultra small electron devices, including nanoscale field-effect …

An exact model for a single-electron transistor was developed within the circuit simulation
package SPICE. This model uses the orthodox theory of single-electron tunneling and …

This book reviews research on single-electron devices and circuits in silicon. These devices
provide a means to control electronic charge at the one-electron level and are promising …

A single-electron inverter was fabricated that switches from a high output to a low output
when a fraction of an electron is added to the input. For the proper operation of the inverter …

Miniaturisation of silicon microelectronics continues to be a major driving force for the
technological progress in computing and electronics. As modern device fabrication is …
