Abstract:
1. A method of operating a non-volatile logic circuit, the method comprising: a step (a) of preparing the non-volatile logic circuit, wherein: a step (b) of configuring one logic in the nonvolatile logic circuit, the one logic being selected from logical multiplication (AND), logical addition (OR), negative logical multiplication (NAND), negative logical addition (NOR), and exclusive logical addition (XOR), wherein: a step (c) of writing one state selected from the group consisting of first to fourth states into the non-volatile logic circuit, wherein: a step (d) of measuring current generated by applying a potential difference between the power electrode and the output electrode to determine whether the semiconductor layer between the power electrode and the output electrode is a high resistance state or a low resistance state on the basis of the current.
