Abstract

In the last five decades, the design of digital systems in nano-scale has attracted the attention of researchers. Quantum-dot Cellular Automata is a new method of binary representation at the nano level. Many circuits have been designed with this nanotechnology, most of them looking to reach optimality. QCA circuits, like other technologies, have evaluation metrics such as circuit area, delay, and cell count. Recently, an additional metric called circuit cost, has been proposed as a differentiation metric, and this evaluation metric has been introduced in various approaches. In this paper, the previous approaches of cost function are studied and evaluated, then new generalized form cost function is invented.
