Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of topical antagonistic issues regarding the implementation of new computer programming methods that can be used to reproduce heterogeneous binary functions of several arguments based on micro- and nanoelectronic multiplexer modules. The growth of specialization of modern large integrated circuits comes into conflict with their universality, which increases the cost of design work and reduces the production volumes of typonominal devices. The trade-off between specialization and versatility should be minimized by computer-aided design of micro- and nano-sized modules with programmable logic. Programming is not performed to create algorithms for processing discrete information, as implemented by a microprocessor, but by logical settings of multiplexer micro- and nanodevices. The results of the combined simulations obtained in the work confirm the equivalence of their functioning, as well as the advantages of cell-based Coulomb nanomultiplexers in reliability, technological scalability, energy efficiency, speed, and disadvantages in exclusively cryogenic ultra-low temperature applications. Obviously, the evolution of microelectronics will continue only in the context of the widespread introduction of nanoscale modules with new functional principles of operation.
