Example: NAND gate in physical layout The physical layout of a NAND circuit.
In August 2012, researchers reported constructing the first NAND gate from undoped silicon nanowires.
In principle any method that leads to a gate that is functionally complete (for example, either a NOR or a NAND gate) can be used to make any kind of digital logic circuit.
