Single electron tunneling
electronics
(SET) A New electrical standard for capacitance.
SET devices can be used to construct circuits which process information by manipulating individual electrons. SET devices are small, dissipate little power, and can detect exquisitely small quantities of charge. The small size and low power dissipation of SET circuits makes them potentially useful for the Information Technology industry.

hardware A neural network hardware concept based on single electron tunneling. Single electron tunneling transistors have some properties which make them attractive for neural networks, among which their small size, low power consumption and potentially high speed. Simulations have been performed on some small circuits of SET transistors that exhibit functional properties similar to those […]
