Abstract(in English) Functional LSIs using extremely small amounts of power can be made by using single-electron circuits, but designing the parameters of such circuits is a complicated and troublesome task. This paper therefore propose, taking the single-electron inverter circuit as an example, a simple policy for the circuit-parameter design. Following this policy, we can easily design a single-electron inverter with a desired transfer characteristic. We have, for example, designed a special inverter circuit that can be used for constructing multiple-valued logic systems. A multiple-valued transfer characteristic(or a staircase transfer curve), which is difficult to obtain with CMOS circuits, can be obtained easily.
