Abstract
A new silicon-based single-electron memory cell is presented for use as a high-speed RAM. Novel architecture and operation schemes are evaluated by conducting Monte Carlo single-electron simulations. By performing transient waveform analysis, a high-speed write operation is demonstrated with a write time shorter than 10 nsec.
