Recently reported logic style comparisons based on full-adder circuits claimed complementary pass-transistor logic (CPL) to be much more power-efficient than complementary CMOS. However, new comparisons performed on more efficient CMOS circuit realizations and a wider range of different logic cells, as well as the use of realistic circuit arrangements demonstrate CMOS to be superior to CPL in m...

We present an analytical model that allows to calculate the current response of a spatially modulated light CMOS detector (SML-detector) and compare this response with the response of a traditional CMOS photodetector. It is shown that the SML detector already yields a three orders of magnitude faster response time than a traditional CMOS detector in a 0.25 m CMOS technology. This response time ...

Because of exceptional mechanical, chemical, and tribological properties, diamond has a great potential to be used as a material for the development of high-performance MEMS and NEMS such as resonators and switches compatible with harsh environments, which involve mechanical motion and intermittent contact. Integration of such MEMS/NEMS devices with complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS...

Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices display volatile characteristics, and are not well suited for analog applications such as neuromorphic computing. Spintronic devices, on the other hand, exhibit both non-volatile features, which well-suited to Consequently, these novel at forefront of beyond-CMOS artificial intelligence applications. However, a large quantity still require ...

The Spatially Modulated Light CMOS detector (SML CMOS detector) has taken away the conventional speed limit linked with photodetectors implemented in standard CMOS technology [1-3]. High-speed light detectors can be integrated with the CMOS receiver circuitry on the same silicon wafer without the usage of hybrid technology nor additional process steps. This indicates that the SML-detector will ...

Low-power, compact, and highperformance NP dynamic CMOS circuits are presented in this paper assuming a 16 nm carbon nano tube transistor technology. The performances of two-stage pipeline 32-bit carry lookahead adders are evaluated based on HSPICE simulation with the following four different implementations: silicon MOSFET (Si-MOSFET) domino logic, Si-MOSFET NP dynamic CMOS, carbon nanotube MO...

In order to provide gigabit per second wireless communication, various standards have been proposed and implemented in recent years. Since the millimeter-wave (mm-wave) communication enables uncompressed high-speed data transfer with a minimum delay, it is considered be most promising technology alleviate pressure of increasing demand spectrum resource. this paper, compact highly efficient mm-w...

CMOS was developed as a digitally friendly process. Now, thanks to high levels of system integration and the emergence of SOC (system-on-chip) design, CMOS has also become the process of choice for mixed-signal applications. However, cutting-edge CMOS has limitations in these applications. Process restrictions, inaccurate simulation models, wide parametric variance, and noisy application enviro...
