Abstract

A tribotronic logic device is fabricated to convert external mechanical stimuli into logic level signals, and tribotronic logic circuits such as NOT, AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR gates are demonstrated for performing mechanical-electrical coupled tribotronic logic operations, which realize the direct interaction between the external environment and the current silicon integrated circuits.

Keywords: logic circuits; logic operations; triboelectric nanogenerators; tribotronic transistors; tribotronics.
