Patent ID: 8509584

Claim:
A nano-electron fluidic logic (NFL) device that controls propagation of at least one surface plasma wave (SPW) in a waveguiding structure, the device comprising: a metallic gate patterned in accordance with a plurality of geometrical parameters; a plurality of source terminals, the source terminals include S Bias , S C1 , S C2 , at which the plurality of SPWs is launched; and a plurality of drain terminals, the drain terminals include D O1 , D O2 , at which the plurality of SPWs may be detected; whereby the NFL device allows the launching of a bias SPW and a control SPW at an angle to the bias SPW into the waveguiding structure, the NFL device operates by steering the propgation direction of the bias SPW resulting speed in NFL device speed which depends on a propagation velocity of the at least one SPW and yields femto-seconds switching speeds at femto-joules power dissipation.
