Abstract

Programmable nanowire nanoprocessor In a significant step forward in complexity and capability for bottom-up assembly of nanoelectronic circuits, Yan et al. demonstrate scalable and programmable logic tiles based on semiconductor nanowire transistor arrays. The same logic tile, consisting of 496 configurable transistor nodes in an area of about 960 square micrometres, can be programmed and operated as a full-adder or full-subtractor circuit, and used for various other functions including multiplexers. It should be possible in future to cascade these logic tiles to realize fully integrated nanoprocessors with computing, memory and addressing capabilities.
