Abstract

Physics offers several active devices with nanometer-scale footprint, that can be best used in combination with a CMOS subsystem. Such hybrid circuits offer the potential for high defect tolerance combined with unparalleled performance. In this tutorial, we highlight key issues and architectural alternatives for this promising technology and outline the challenges posed by the hybrid circuits pose for design automation.
