Single-Electron Devices and Circuits Utilizing Stochastic Operation for Intelligent Information Processing

摘要

The single-electron circuit technology should aim at developing information processing systems using the intrinsic properties of single-electron devices. The operation principles of single-electron devices are completely different from that of conventional CMOS devices, but both devices should co-exist in the information processing systems. In this paper,according to a scenario for achieving large-scale integrated systems of single-electron devices, some single-electron devices and circuits utilizing stochastic operation for associative processing and a spiking neuron model are described.
