摘要: This paper addresses the functional robustness and fault-tolerance capability of very-deep submicron CMOS single-electron transistor (SET) circuits. A set guidelines is identified for design very high-density digital systems using inherently unreliable error-prone devices. Empirical results based on SPICE simulations show that proposed method improves fault immunity at level. Graceful degradation circuit performance allows recovery information, where classical circuits would fail.
