Majority logical function using a pi'npin a-SiC:H structure
| Summary: | The majority logic function has a true output value whenever more than half of the inputs have a true value. Majority logic, also known as majority voting, is used in many systems, for fault-tolerant design, in bioelectronics, and quantum dot cellular automata. The pi'npin heterostructure p-i'(a-SiC:H)-n/p-i(a-Si:H)-n can be illuminated from both back and front surfaces. Steady state illumination, optical bias, controls the light-to-dark sensitivity in the visible range. Several input data channels, each with a different wavelength, illuminate the front surface. Results show that a majority function of 3 and 5 inputs (MAJ-3, MAJ-5) is built with the pi'npin device projecting the way for a MAJ-n function. |
