Introduction
The name of our thesis is “Hybrid SET-CMOS digital logic inverter design using macro
model technique.
Here we have used an equivalent circuit of Single Electron Transistor (SET) and a CMOS
inverter to make a hybrid model of the inverter circuit.
We know the traditional CMOS inverter offers low power dissipation, good noise
immunity, high gain, high speed and nano-scaling.
But when we make an inverter using the combination of SET and CMOS , it provides
ultralow power dissipation, nanoscale feature size, excellent performance in the low
voltage range, high speed and high gain also.

Methodology
There are some limitations of SET, such as high cost, large processing time, extremely
low operating temperatures, and fabrication challenges.
To overcome those limitations the researchers proposed equivalent circuits called macro-
model.
By studying a lot of papers, we have found mainly two kinds of equivalent circuits of SET.

Advantages of hybrid SET-CMOS inverter over today’s advance
CMOS inverter
Voltage Levels : Hybrid SET-CMOS can operate at extremely low voltages (0.1 V or
lower), where advance CMOS operates at higher voltages (0.7 V - 5 V).
Device Density : The device density of hybrid SET-CMOS inverter is higher than
advance CMOS inverter.
Noise immunity : Hybrid SET-CMOS inverter provides higher noise immunity than
advance CMOS inverter.
