A New Nano-Design of a Fault-Tolerant Coplanar RAM with Set/Reset Ability Based on Quantum-Dots

Quantum Dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is a recent technology that has piqued researchers’ interest because of its small size and low energy consumption. With the help of quantum dots, the QCA technology delivers a new computational foundation for constructing digital circuits. Medical imaging and quantum computing are just a few applications for quantum dots. Quantum dots are nanocrystals that transmit data at the nano-scale. Since the memory is an important digital circuit, this work proposes a fault-tolerant loop-based coplanar Random Access Memory (RAM) with set/reset capability that uses the QCA rules. The memory cell’s operation is verified both physically and through simulations with the QCADesigner program. The quantum cost of the proposed memory cell shows that it has a negligible quantum cost. The proposed QCA-based memory circuit performs well in simulations, with 96 QCA cells and the output signal generated after 0.75 clock phases. The gates and wire in this design have around 85 percent better fault-tolerant capability than the best-presented memory systems. Furthermore, this circuit can tolerate most cell omission, displacement, misalignment, and deposition faults. This structure can be used to create high-performance higher-order fault-tolerant memory structures.
