Experimental progress of and prospects for nanomagnet logic (NML)

We present the current state-of-the-art of nanomagnetic logic (NML), which is one of the beyond-Moore device technologies being pursued within the SRC-NRI (Nanoelectronics Research Initiative). Advantages of NML include low power and non-volatility. We show that all key ingredients for NML architectures have been demonstrated - including logic, fan-out, and on-chip clock structures. Input and output can be accomplished in a fashion similar to MRAM technology. As such, NML is CMOS compatible.
