Systematic effort dedicated to the exploration of feasible ways how to
permanently come up with even more space-efficient implementation of digital
circuits based on conventional CMOS technology node may soon reach the ultimate
point, which is mostly given by the constraints associated with physical scaling
of fundamental electronic components.
One of the possible ways how to mitigate this problem can be recognized in
deployment of multifunctional circuit elements. In addition, the polymorphic
electronics paradigm, with its considerable independence on a particular
technology, opens a way how to fulfil this objective through the adoption of
emerging semiconductor materials and advanced synthesis methods.
In this paper, main attention is focused on the introduction of polymorphic
operators (i.e. digital logic gates) that would allow to further increase the
efficiency of multifunctional circuit synthesis techniques. Key aspect
depicting the novelty of the proposed approach is primarily based on the
intrinsic exploitation of components with ambipolar conduction property. Finally,
relevant models of the polymorphic operators are presented in conjunction with
the experimental results.
