NDLI: Exploiting multiple functionality for nano-scale reconfigurable systems

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Beckett, Paul
Abstract	It is likely that it will become increasingly difficult to manufacture the complex, heterogeneous logic structures that characterise current reconfigurable logic systems. As a result, these systems may come to be characterised by vast arrays of largely identical devices that are differentiated via post-fabrication configuration - but only if low-overhead configuration can be achieved. Two simulation studies are presented that describe some ideas for achieving low-overhead reconfigurability in systems built from nano-scale components. The first is based on variable-threshold devices built from thin-body double gate transistors while a second, more speculative idea is based on recently identified resonant tunneling behaviour in carbon nanotubes. Various logic functions can be configured via the application of a simple bias voltage. Further, two approaches to the issue of generating the required bias voltages based on RTD devices and chalcogenide films are briefly explored.
