Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to computer architecture, and, more specifically to a computer that uses molecules as functional units (e.g. logic gates and memory cells). 3. Background ofthe Invention
- the present invention in a preferred embodiment, may take the form, for example, of a one cubic centimeter box that contains 1000 metallic inputs (m), 1000 outputs (n), and 100 different learning inputs (1).
- the present molecular computer once formed, can be further modified by new interconnect routes via electrochemically induced cross linking of the nanoparticles or by "burning out” components through large induced fields, analogous to the operation of a field programmable gate array (FPGA).
- FPGA field programmable gate array
- the present molecular computer has a number of advantages: It can be teachable.
- the system can be trained by forcing the correct output for a given input by varying the operational inputs until consistency is achieved.
- the output as a function of input can be autoverified.
- this embodiment takes advantage ofthe inmense number of functions that can be make with their terminals. For example, for binary operation, 1000 inputs yield 2 1000 posible input combinations. Therefore with 1000 possible outputs yield a total of 10 32256000 ° 000 where the number of digits in the exponent is 304.
- An important feature of the present invention is that, unlike other approaches to making computers from molecules, specific placement of nanometer-sized molecular elements is not needed.
- Moleware is simply added in bulk in a dilute solution and given a chance to form links or "bridges" between inputs and outputs. The excess solvent is removed leaving the moleware components after self-assembly.
- the moleware can be inserted using an evaporation process wherein the molecules are evaporated into the container wherein they self-assemble.
- the moleware is selected and adapted to form stable links that will remain in place during normal operating conditions.
- the molecular computer has then produced inputs and outputs with the necessary relationships; it remains the task of another computer to find which groups of input pins have what relationship to which output pins. Once the input and output pin relationships have been identified, the computer can then be used just as surely as if the moleware had been put carefully into position.
- Still another feature ofthe present invention is that, although each computer will be unique, all can be “trained” to perform the same functions once the necessary relationships between inputs and outputs are found.
- Fig. 1 A illustrates in schematic form a molecular computer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention
- Fig. 3 illustrates a two-dimensional projection of a detail of a cross sectional view of the input/output arrangement, according to a preferred embodiment ofthe present invention
- Fig. 5 illustrates two additional molecular alligator clips, according to alternative preferred embodiments ofthe present invention.
- Fig. 6 illustrates in chemical symbols a molecular wire with alligator clips according to a preferred embodiment ofthe present invention
- Fig. 7 illustrates a controller molecule in two orientations, in the "off' position on the left and in the conductive position on the right, according to a preferred embodiment ofthe present invention
- Fig. 8 illustrates the connection to a gold nanoparticle connected to an electrode via a bi-functional molecular wire, according to a preferred embodiment ofthe present invention
- Fig. 9 illustrates a nanoparticle with connecting molecules attached to activate its surface and facilitate interconnection with other moleware, according to a preferred embodiment ofthe present invention
- Fig. 10 illustrates a molecular dynamic random access memory composed of a molecular controller and molecular capacitor, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Figs. 1A and IB illustrates the configuration of a molecular computer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the computer comprises a containment, illustrated here in the form of a container 10 with input 12 and output ports 14 (I/O ports) and moleware 16 assembled inside the containment.
- the shape of container 10 is not critical as long as it provides acces to input ports 12 and output ports 14. Current or a field gradient 18 may be applied across container 10. Additionally, a two-dimensional chip-based scheme could be used wherein moleware branches laterally across I/O locations.
- moleware is intended to refer to nanometer-scale obj ects (less than 1000 nanometers in diameter) that serve as part of a computing device; i.e., nanometer-scale computer “hardware” (see Fig. IB).
- moleware consists of molecules, clusters of molecules, nanoclusters of atoms, and combinations of these, selected for particular characteristics and adapted to interconnect in specific ways.
- the moleware is preassembled in standard chemical lab ware containers, preferably in dilute solutions, and is injected into the containment in a controlled sequence that allows the moleware to bridge the input and output ports.
- the moleware will comprise an intelligently assembled array of about 10 20 pre- designated active and passive components, called herein "moleware", including molecular alligator clip-bearing 2-terminal wires 30; a 2-terminal wire with a molecular resonant tunneling diode 32; 2-terminal wires with an incorporated quantum well 34; 3- terminal wires 36; 3-terminal wires 38 with molecular resonant tunneling diodes; 4-terminal wires with molecular resonant tunneling diodes 40 (with-diode-version only shown), molecular controllers 42 that can be modulated via the external peripheral fields, massive interconnect stations based on single gold or silver nanoparticles 44, DRAM components 46 composed of molecular controller/nanoparticle or fullerene hybrids in an inert atmosphere, preferably argon or nitrogen.
- molecular controllers 42 that can be modulated via the external peripheral fields, massive interconnect stations based on single gold or silver nanoparticles 44, DRAM components
- the programming ofthe molecular computer takes into account its architecture, and in particular (i) its very large number of components, (ii) its variable assembly process, and (iii) the incorporation of some components that are only partially functional.
- the alligator clips for the moleware ofthe present microcomputer may be fabricated using metallic connection atoms in the series sulfur to selenium to tellurium, and others such as isonitrile, carboxylate (for adhesion to the native oxides of Titanium and Aluminum) and SiCl 3 (for adhesion to the native oxide on silicon).
- organo-transition metal species can be made using N ⁇ b, Ta, Mo, and W, which have an empty low-lying orbital projected toward the metallic surface which should respond as a gradient for the electron transport.
- Isocyanides are also useful in that they have a two-fold decrease in barrier height when attached to palladium with respect to thiols on gold.
- Insulating oxides such as Al 2 O 3 , TiO,, and SiO 2
- These oxide particles act as high impedance resistors in the circuit. Control ofthe fractions of insulating particles in the self-assembling mixture will thus allow control ofthe total number of circuit connections up to the ultimate limit of the percolation threshold. Approaching this limit will impart exceedingly high sensitivity to the current-voltage characteristics across the individual I/O terminals in the device.
- the insulator nanoparticles are made using standard methods. Typically, TiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 are used.
- the structures ofthe networks assembled at single metal electrodes will be probed by elemental analysis (e.g., wet chemical techniques for the w, x, y, z stoichiometric factors), high resolution SEM, AFM and TEM (for cases of networks grown from surfaces such as SiO or C on TEM grids), and NMR.
- elemental analysis e.g., wet chemical techniques for the w, x, y, z stoichiometric factors
- high resolution SEM e.g., high resolution SEM, AFM and TEM (for cases of networks grown from surfaces such as SiO or C on TEM grids)
- NMR nuclear magnetic resonance
