An Energy-Aware Nanoscale Design of Reversible Atomic Silicon Based on Miller Algorithm

Abstract

Atomic silicon and reversible logic are domain field-coupled nanocomputing (FCN) techniques that have drawn significant attention for their lower power consumption, area, and design overhead. As atomic silicon and reversible logic reach dramatically reduced occupied area and power consumption, they can be a suitable alternative to CMOS technology. These technologies can significantly reduce the occupied area and energy consumption in all kinds of digital circuits, which are the two most challenging aspects of developing digital circuits. On the other hand, the Miller algorithm is a crucial synthesis for suggesting reversible circuits with extraordinary techniques in nanotechnology. It is an exceptionally effective and systematic method based on quantum rules for designing and proposing reversible circuits that can help suggest a reversible gate with low energy and a low occupied area. This study aims to construct novel nano-scale circuits with a focus on low-occupied area and minimal energy consumption as essential factors while designing digital circuits. In this paper, we propose a reversible gate with the well-known Miller algorithm and atomic silicon technology. Then it is used to develop a reversible full adder, 4-bit ripple carry adder, and 4:2 compressor. Finally, the proposed structures are simulated using the SiQAD tool.
