BALLISTIC DEFLECTION TRANSISTOR AND LOGIC CIRCUITS BASED ON SAME

摘要

A quantum well is formed in a substrate to define a hub, ports extending from the hub, and a deflective structure in the hub. Electrons move through the hub and ports according to the ballistic electron effect. Gates control the movement of the electrons, causing them to be incident on the deflective structure on one side or the other, thus controlling the direction in which they are deflected and the port through which they pass.
