Abstract
Moore’s Law, which has long described the scaling evolution of electronic devices, is now approaching its limit, highlighting the constraints of CMOS technology under extreme miniaturization. The search for alternatives to silicon-based systems has therefore driven research toward new and more promising technologies, capable of complex computation with minimal size and power consumption. One of the most relevant beyond-CMOS approaches is Molecular Field-Coupled Nanocomputing (MolFCN). MolFCN encodes binary information by localizing charges within molecules organized on a substrate to form functional structures, such as wires. The initial MolFCN wire design, known as the trench device, features a core metallic layer hosting molecules deposited at the bottom of a dielectric trench, with two metal electrodes placed at the top of the trench walls.
Information propagation in MolFCN occurs through electrostatic interactions between neighboring molecules, making the system current-less
