Novel digital technologies always lead to high density and very low power consumption. One of these concepts-quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA), which is one of the new emerging nanotechnologies, is based on Coulomb repulsion. This chapter presents a novel design of 2-input Exclusive-NOR (XNOR)/Exclusive-OR (XOR) gates with 3-input Exclusive-NOR (XNOR) gates which are composed of 10 cells on 0.006 μm 2 of area. A novel architecture of 3-input Exclusive-OR (XOR) gate is defined by 12 cells on 0.008 μm 2 of area. The proposed design of 2-input XOR/XNOR gate structures provide less area and low complexity than the best reported design. The simulation results of proposed designs have been achieved using QCA Designer tool version 2.0.3.

Abstract-Novel digital technologies always lead to high density and very low power consumption. One of these concepts is Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA), which is one of the new emerging nanotechnology-based on Coulomb repulsion. This article presents three architectures of logical "XOR" gate, a novel structure of two inputs "XOR" gate, which is used as a module to implement four inputs "XOR" gate and eight inputs "XOR" gate using QCA technique. The two inputs, four inputs, and eight inputs QCA "XOR" gate architectures are built using 10, 35, and 90 Cells on 0.008 µm 2 , 0.036 µm 2 and 0.114 µm 2 of areas, respectively. The proposed "XOR" gate structure provides an improvement in terms of circuit complexity, area, latency and type of cross wiring compared to other previous architectures. These proposed architectures of "XOR" gate are evaluated and simulated using the QCADesigner tool version 2.0.3.
