Novel Three-state Quantum Dot Gate Field Effect Transistor

This book explores fabrication and circuit modeling of quantum dot gate field effect transistor (QDGFET) and quantum dot gate NMOS inverter, introduces a circuit model of QDGFET based on Berkley Short Channel IGFET model and simulation of advanced circuits.

The book presents the fabrication and circuit modeling of quantum dot gate field effect transistor (QDGFET) and quantum dot gate NMOS inverter (QDNMOS inverter). It also introduces the development of a circuit model of QDGFET based on Berkley Short Channel IGFET model (BSIM). Different ternary logic circuits based on QDGFET are also investigated in this book. Advanced circuit such as three-bit and six bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and digital-to-analog converter (DAC) were also simulated.

Introduces a novel semiconductor device for multi valued logic implementation which can make reader to continue new research in this direction in future Provides details of step-by-step foundation of quantum dot gate field effect transistor Discusses three state logic design fundamentals Entails the simple comparator design and its application in designing ADC and DAC
