Abstract
Currently available electronic products and circuits are heavily based on the CMOS technology. Over the course of past decades, electronic circuit integration has become one of the determining factors in the technological advances of our time. Due to causes such as transistor scaling reaching critical limits and extremely high density of ICs, challenging today’s production processes, it is more apparent than ever that continuing to only rely on CMOS technology is leading to a slowdown in progress, and alternative solutions are being researched. These new technologies go by the name of Beyond CMOS. One of the most important is QCA (Quantum-dot Cellular Automata), capable of achieving improvements where the CMOS might be limited moving forward, such as reduced power consumption and faster signal transmission.
It is based on the interaction between the electrons of bi-stable quantum cells, enabling logic operations
