Nano-Magnetic Devices For Computation, Dinuka Karunaratne

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The continuous scaling down of the metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET)

has improved the performance of electronic appliances. Unfortunately, it has come to a

stage where further scaling of the MOSFET is no longer possible due to the physical and the

fabrication limitations. This has motivated researchers towards designing and fabricating novel

devices that can replace MOSFET technology. Carbon Nanotube Field-Effect Transistors, Single

Electron Tunneling Junctions, Nano-Magnetic Devices, and Spin Field-Effect Transistors are some

prospective candidates that could replace MOSFET devices. In this dissertation, we have studied

the computational performance of Nano−Magnetic Devices due to their attractive features such

as room …
