一种新型的单电子A/D转换器

A novel single-electron analog-to-digital converter

传统的A D转换器结构复杂 ,利用一种改进的V PADOX工艺可以制成性能均匀的互补的单电子晶体管 ,工艺重复性好 .用互补SET对结构实现了多阈值周期性传输功能 ,这可以用来简化A D转换电路 .提出了一种利用该互补SET对结构实现的新型 3位A D转换器 ,具有结构简单、速度快、功耗低等优点 .

The ideal single-electron transistor has a folding I-V characteristic. Multi-threshold periodic transmitting function can be achieved by using a complementary single-electron transistor structure, which can be used to simplify the analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. A novel 3-bit A/D converter by using the complementary single-electron transistor structure has many advantages including a simple structure, high speed and low power.
