Toward an ion-based large-scale integrated circuit: design, simulation, and integration.

ABSTRACT: Iontronics combines ions as information carriers with electronic-like operations, enabling the creation of ion-based integrated circuits that offer unique signal processing, chemical regulation, and enhanced bio-integrability. Existing simulation tools encounter difficulties in effectively modeling integrated iontronic components, highlighting the need for specialized design and simulation methodologies. Here we present a design approach toward ion-based large-scale integrated circuits, inspired by electronic integrated circuit abstraction levels. We develop a compact model for the iontronic bipolar diode, with a conceptual framework applicable to other iontronic components. The model is implemented using standard Electronic Design Automation tools, allowing simulation of static and dynami
