Design optimization of NEMS switches for single-electron logic applications

In this work, we focus on the design optimization and the analysis of the latter device in order to evaluate its merit and demerit. We propose a realistic low-voltage window design methodology, which could actually also be used for systematical design of conventional NEMS switches. We also demonstrate some applications that arise from the movable gate, such as a way to cope with the random background charge problem and to build logic functions.
