Description
Summary:Adiabatic reversible computing can dramatically reduce heat generation by switching circuits slowly, relative to their RC time constants, and using reversible logic. Nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS) are a promising approach to implement reversible computing as they don't have leakage current and can be used as pull-up and pull-down networks to generate digital gates. We present the measurement of NEMS motional capacitance devices with radio frequency (RF) reflectometry using a micromanipulator probe. The probe includes an on-board matching network that can be tuned to match the impedance of the NEMS devices under test. The NEMS are operated with a DC gate voltage and the reflectometry measurements verify their functionality paving the way for adiabatic reversible computing.
