Outline of Final Research Achievements

A stochastic-resonance (SR)-based NAND gate is designed where the power consumption is decreased by ultra-low voltage supply, and the subsequent malfunction of NAND operation (due to the low voltage supply) is recovered by injecting noises to the circuit. The gate consists of two floating-gate inverters having multiple inputs where a latch circuit is constructed by the two inverters. By using threshold function of the latch, a threshold-based logic circuit (NAND) was constructed. In general, to implement functional logic functions with floating-gate technology, capacitance of the floating gates must be larger than the ground capacitance, however, the latch amplified small differences between the input floating gates, which resulted in relaxation of its input amplitudes and threshold voltages of the two floating-gate inverters.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究成果を基板とした集積回路工学の発展により、長時間駆動やエナジーハーベスティング技術の恩恵を直接受けられる集積回路が実現できると思われる。また、フローティングゲートプロセスが必須になることから、我が国が得意とするフラッシュ型不揮発メモリのプロセスの強みを活かした卓越した技術・産業の基盤となり得る。集積デバイス学、回路設計学、システム設計学の分野を横断する研究成果であり、停滞気味の日本の半導体集積回路研究の活性化に向けた一助となれば幸いである。
