Nanowire crossbar is one of the most promising circuit solutions for nanoelectronics. We show nanowire crossbars do not scale well in terms of logic density and speed. We consequently propose a Crossbar Cell design based on judicious use of silicon nanowire crossbars with microscale pitches and small dimensions. The Crossbar Cell is compatible with the conventional MOSFET fabrication and standard cell-based integration. We evaluate logic circuits using Crossbar Cells and show that they can improve density by more than fourfold over the traditional MOSFET circuits with the same process technology, while achieving close performance and over threefold power reduction.
