Multivalued logic implementation using Quantum dot gate non-volatile memory

This paper addresses the challenge to implement multi-valued logic (MVL) circuit. Semiconductor industries are trying to solve the issues of integration below sub-nm range of semiconductor process. MVL implementation may solve that issue in an indirect way by increasing the processing information at a time with the same number of circuit elements. Various researchers are trying to find the proper semiconductor device to implement MVL. This paper introduces the application of quantum dot gate non-volatile memory (QDNVM) in MVL implementation. This work also shows the result of MVL in image processing using QDNVM.
