โฆ Synopsis
The performance of a CMOS three-valued logic device (ternary inverter) has been studied at liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K) in comparison with its room temperature (296 K) operation. It has been observed that performance improves at 77 K compared with room temperature behaviour. This improvement is attributed to the rise in absolute threshold voltages of n-and p-channel MOSFET devices which in turn allows MOSFET devices to operate between well defined near-above-threshold (on) and subthreshold (off) regions.
