Abstract
One of the most promising applications of single-electronics is a single-electron memory chip. Such a chip would have orders of magnitude lower power consumption compared to state-of-the-art dynamic memories, and would allow integration densities beyond the tera bit chip.We studied various single-electron memory designs. Additionally we are proposing a new memory cell which we call the T-memory cell. This cell can be manufactured with state-of-the-art lithography, it operates at room temperature and shows a strong resistance against random background charge.
