Basic Devices For Molecular Electronics

Abstract
Abstract: Due to high power consumption and difficulties with minimizing the CMOS transistor size, molecular electronics has been introduced as an emerging technology. Further, there have been noticeable advances in fabrication of molecular wires and switches and also molecular diodes can be used for designing different logic circuits. It is easier to build electronic circuits using molecules since they are small and their properties can be tuned. Molecular electronics has some advantages over other technologies for implementing logic circuits. The size of molecules is at least 1nm and at most 100nm. This leads to less area and power dissipation. Considering this novel technology, molecules are used as the active components of the circuit, for transporting electric charge. In this paper, a half adder cell based on molecular electronics is presented. The area occupied by this kind of half adder would be much times smaller than the conventional designs and it can be used as the building block of more complex molecular arithmetic circuits.
