Main Features

1. Ultra-low power operation

path switching function and passive transmission of messengerdon’t require “transfer gain” and “current drivability”

single- or a-few-electron messengers controlled in quantum wayby ultra-low voltage results in low current and low power

2. High-density and large-scale integration

hexagonal network realizes high-density integration of node devices having 3-fold symmetric configuration
