NANOSCALE LOGIC INVERTER FOR DIGITAL DEVICES Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC H01L39/16 B82B1/00 

FIELD: nanoelectronics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to nanoelectronics and can be used in the creation of logic integrated circuits with nanoscale elements. A nanoscale logic inverter for digital devices is proposed, including parallel superconducting nanowires connected to a voltage source, containing resistive sections, while it is made of two parallel nanowires containing resistive sections offset relative to each other in length, and the second wire contains a narrowed section located near the resistive section of the first wire, the resistance of the resistive part of the second wire is selected from the conditions of flow in it is less than the critical current for a narrow area of the nanowires when applying the reference voltage and highlight it enough heat to initiate the transition to normal narrow portion adjacent nanowires another logical element digital devices, but not enough for the transition of the narrowed part of the second wire back to normal condition.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to create a nanoscale logic element "NOT" (inverter) for digital devices with low power consumption, high speed and with no galvanic connection between the switched elements.
