Abstract

In this paper, a detailed comparison between the expected performance of CMOS-based and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) based adiabatic logic circuits is presented. The modeling of the NEMS devices is done using a 1-dimensional reduced order model (1d ROM) of the electromechanical switches. This model will give an honest analytical depiction of the NEMS-based adiabatic circuits. The performance of NEMS-based circuits compares favorably with that of CMOS-based circuits. To the best knowledge of the authors, this is the first reported detailed comparison between NEMS and CMOS devices for adiabatic circuits.
