Abstract
A McCulloch and Pitts neuron implemented in nano-technology is simulated. The neuron is created with SET circuits operating in the single-electron current regime. Therefore the extremely low power properties of the SET devices are fully exploited. This neuron is simulated with a SPICE description model for a single SET junction.
