Despite the seemingly endless upw ards spiral of modern VLSI technology, many experts are predicting a hard w all for CMOS in about a decade. Given this, researc hers con tin ue to look at alternative technologies, one of which is based on quan tumdots, called quan tumcellular automata (QCA). While the first such devices have been fabricated, little is kno wn about how to design complete systems of them. This paper summarizes one of the first such studies, namely an attempt to design a complete, albeit simple, CPU in the technology. T o design a theoretical QCA microprocessor, two things must be accomplished. First a device model of the processor must be constructed (i.e. the schematic itself). Second, methods for sim ulatingand testing QCA designs m ust be developed. This paper summarizes the beginnings of a simple QCA microprocessor (namely, its dataflow) and a QCA design and simulation tool.
