Abstract
Room-temperature-operating single-electron devices work not only as single-electron transistors (SETs) but also as nonvolatile single-electron memories. It is demonstrated that the combination of Coulomb oscillations with the nonvolatile memory functions offers high programmability for LSIs. The power and delay of a programmable SET logic are estimated.
