Several practical issues in the development and operation of quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) cells and systems are discussed. The need for adiabatic clocking of QCA systems and modeling of electrostatic confinement of quantum dots are presented. Experimental data on dot coupling and applications

We present an experimental demonstration of electron switching in a quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) cell. The four-dot QCA cell is constructed of two capacitively-coupled double-dots. Polarization switching of the cell is accomplished by applying biases to the gates of the input double-dot and i
The transport properties of two adjacent double dots, realized in silicon is studied by DCmeasurements at a temperature of 4.2 K. From the measured charging diagrams the capacitances within the structure are estimated and using this information as input for a simple electrostatic model the energy sc
Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) nanotechnology is considered as the best candidate for memory system owing to its dense packages and low power consumption. This paper analyzes the drawbacks of the previous QCA memory architectures and improves memory cell that exploits regular clock zone layout
