Performance Limits of Nanoelectromechanical Switches (NEMS)-Based Adiabatic Logic Circuits

This paper qualitatively explores the performance limits, i.e., energy vs. frequency, of adiabatic logic circuits based on nanoelectromechanical (NEM) switches. It is shown that the contact resistance and the electro-mechanical switching behavior of the NEM switches dictate the performance of such c...
