Filled Carbon Nanotube Ternary Transistors

@s-SWCNT), in which carrier concentration can be dynamically modulated under an applied electric field. Transistors based on this platform validate that this electric-field-controlled modulation yields three well-defined logic states: 0, 1, and 2. These transistors demonstrate good uniformity and stable operation, showing a static power consumption of 8.2 pW and dynamic power consumption of 0.31 nJ (state 0 to 1) and 0.35 µJ (state 1 to 2). The ternary inverter based on this heterostructure exhibits rail-to-rail output capability, enabling the accurate execution of MVL operations. Ternary weight networks (TWNs) built with these transistors reduce computational complexity and storage, enabling efficient neuromorphic computing.
