Abstract

A polarization-based logic gate includes a transistor having a drain and a polarizable material layer having at least two polarization states, the polarization state representing a first logic value, and a resistive element having a first terminal coupled to the drain and a second terminal. A plurality of input/output terminals connected to the transistor and second terminal of the resistive element so as to apply voltages to selected input/output terminals, including a sensing voltage representing a second logic value, with a resulting drain current of the transistor at least partially flowing through the resistive element and representing a result of a logic operation between the first logic value and the second logic value.
