Abstract:
1. A Boolean logic circuit, comprising: at least one input terminal and an output terminal; a network of nanotube switching elements electrically disposed between said at least one input terminal and said output terminal; said network of nanotube switching elements effectuating a Boolean NOT function transformation of Boolean signals on said at least one input terminal, said Boolean function transformation including a Boolean inversion within the function; wherein said network of nanotube switching elements includes a first and a second nanotube switching element, each nanotube switching element including: wherein the at least one input terminal of the Boolean logic circuit is in electrical communication with the control electrodes of the first and second nanotube switching elements; wherein the output nodes of the first and second nanotube switching elements are electrically coupled together and to the output terminal of the Boolean logic circuit; wherein the nanotube channel element of the first nanotube switching element is in electrical communication with a logical true value, and the nanotube channel element of the second nanotube switching element is in electrical communication with a logical false value.
