(Elsevier, 2022) Ahmadpour, Seyed-Sajad; Navimipour, Nima Jafari; Mosleh, Mohammad; Bahar, Ali Newaz; Das, Jadav Chandra; De, Debashis; Yalcin, Senay
Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is a domain coupling nano-technology that has drawn significant attention for less power consumption, area, and design overhead. It is able to achieve a high speed over the CMOS technology. Recently, the tendency to design reversible circuits has been expanding because of the reduction in energy dissipation. Hence, the QCA is a crucial candidate for reversible circuits in nano-technology. On the other hand, the addition operator is also considered one of the primary operations in digital and analog circuits due to its wide applications in digital signal processing and computer arithmetic operations. Accordingly, full-adders have become popular and extensively solve mathematical problems more efficiently and faster. They are one of the essential fundamental circuits in most digital processing circuits. Therefore, this article first suggests a novel reversible block called the RF-adder block. Then, an effective reversible adder design is proposed using the recommended reversible RF-adder block. The QCAPro and QCADesigner 2.0.3 tools were employed to assess the effectiveness of the suggested reversible full-adder. The outcomes of energy dissipation for the proposed circuit compared to the best previous structure at three different tunneling energy levels indicate a reduction in the power consumption by 45.55%, 38.82%, and 34.62%, respectively.

An Efficient Architecture of Adder Using Fault-Tolerant Majority Gate Based on Atomic Silicon Nanotechnology
(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2023) Jafari Navimipour, Nima; Jafari Navimipour, Nima; Bahar, Ali Newaz; Yalcin, Senay
It is expected that Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) implementation with ever-smaller transistors will soon face significant issues such as device density, power consumption, and performance due to the requirement for challenging fabrication processes. Therefore, a new and promising computation paradigm, nanotechnology, can replace CMOS technology. In addition, a new frontier in computing is opened up by nanotechnology called atomic silicon, which has the same extraordinary behavior as quantum dots. On the other hand, atomic silicon circuits are highly prone to defects, so suggested fault-tolerant structures in this technology play important roles. The full adders have gained popularity and find widespread use in efficiently solving mathematical problems. In the following article, we will explore the development of an efficient fault-tolerant 3-input majority gate (FT-MV3) using DBs, further enhancing the capabilities of digital circuits. A rule-based approach to the redundant DB achieves a less complex and more robust atomic silicon layout for the MV3. We use the SiQAD tool to simulate proposed circuits. In addition, to confirm the efficiency of the proposed gate, all common defects, such as single and double dangling bond omission defects and DB dislocation defects, are examined. The suggested gate is 100% and 66.66% tolerant against single and double DB omission defects, respectively. Furthermore, a new adder design is introduced using the suggested FT-MV3 gate. The results show that the suggested adder is 44.44% and 35.35% tolerant against single and double DB omission defects. Finally, a fault-tolerant four-bit adder is designed based on the proposed adder.

A nano-scale n-bit ripple carry adder using an optimized XOR gate and quantum-dots technology with diminished cells and power dissipation
(Elsevier, 2023) Ahmadpour, Seyed-Sajad; Navimipour, Nima Jafari; Mosleh, Mohammad; Bahar, Ali Newaz; Yalcin, Senay
In the nano-scale era, quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) technology has become an appealing substitute for transistor-based technologies. QCA will be the preferred technology for developing the next generation of digital systems. On the other hand, the full-adder and ripple carry adder (RCA) are the crucial building blocks of complex circuits, the most used structures in digital operations systems, and a practical part of the most well-known complex circuits in QCA technology. In addition, this technology was used to design the full adder for several procedures, like multiplication, subtraction, and division. For this reason, the full adder is generally investigated as a central unit and microprocessor in developing QCA technology. Furthermore, most previous QCA-based adder structures have suffered from some drawbacks, such as a high number of cells, high energy consumption, the high number of gates, and the placement of inputs and outputs in a closed loop; hence, the implementation of an efficient adder with only one gate and a low number of cells, such as exclusive-OR (XOR) gate, can solve all previous problems. Therefore, in this paper, a significantly improved structure of 3-input XOR is suggested based on the promising QCA technology. In addition, a QCA clocking mechanism and explicit cell interaction form the foundation of the proposed QCA-based XOR gate configuration. This gate can be easily converted into an adder circuit while containing a small number of cells and being extremely compressed. The suggested QCA-based XOR design is focused on optimizing a single-bit adder using cellular interaction. The suggested single-bit adder contains 14 cells. Based on this adder, several different RCAs, such as 4, 8, 16, and 32-bit, are designed. The comparison of the proposed single-bit adder to the best coplanar and multi-layer ones shows a 51.72% and 36.36% reduction of cells, respectively. In addition, all suggested designs are verified through simulation using QCADesigner and QCAPro. Finally, many physical validations are provided to approve the functionality of the suggested XOR design.(c) 2023 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
