IINVITED PAPER Special Section on New System Paradigms for Integrated Electronics Hexagonal Binary Decision Diagram Quantum Circuit Approach for Ultra-Low Power III-V Quantum LSls
Hideki Hasegawa · 2004
SUMMARY A new approach for ultra-low-power LSIs based on quan tum devices is presented and its present status and critical issues are dis cussed with a brief background review on the semiconductor nanotechnol ogy. It is a hexagonal binary decision diagram (BOD) quantum logic circuit approach suitable for realization of ultra-low-power logic/memory circuits to be used in new applications such as intelligent quantum (IQ) chips em bedded in the ubiquitous network environment. The basic concept of the approach, circuit examples showing its feasibility, growth of high density nanostructure networks by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) for future LSI implementation, and the key processing issues including the device isola tion issue are addressed.
