Single Electron Tunneling Technology

Single Electron Tunneling Technology

(hardware)A neural network hardware concept based onsingle electron tunneling. Single electron tunneling transistors have some properties which make them attractivefor neural networks, among which their small size, low powerconsumption and potentially high speed.

Simulations have been performed on some small circuits of SETtransistors that exhibit functional properties similar tothose required for neural networks.
