In this paper, we evaluate scaling of quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) devices (majority voter and inverter) in the presence of defects due to process variations in QCA manufacturing. Simulation results using the two engines of QCADesigner are provided and compared to show the defect tolerance of these devices.
