Introduction to CNTFET Technology

This book introduces readers to the emerging carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (CNTFET) technology, and examines the problem of designing efficient arithmetic circuits in CNTFET technology.

Design of Basic Ternary Logic Elements

Observing that CNTFETs make it possible to achieve two distinct threshold voltages merely by altering the diameter of the carbon nanotube used, the book begins by discussing the design of basic ternary logic elements.

Efficient CNTFET-Based Arithmetic Circuits

It then examines efficient CNTFET-based design of single and multiple ternary digit adders by judicious choice of unary operators in ternary logic, as well as the design of a ternary multiplier in CNTFET technology, and presents detailed simulation results in HSPICE.

Automation and Sample Code

Lastly, the book outlines a procedure for automating the synthesis process and provides sample code in Python.
