Single Electron Tunneling Technology

   <hardware> A {neural network} hardware concept based on
   {single electron tunneling}.  {Single electron tunneling
   transistors} have some properties which make them attractive
   for neural networks, among which their small size, low power
   consumption and potentially high speed.

   Simulations have been performed on some small circuits of SET
   transistors that exhibit functional properties similar to
   those required for neural networks.
