AB  - Nanosystems are large-scale integrated systems exploiting nanoelectronic devices. 
      In this study, we consider double independent gate, vertically stacked nanowire 
      field effect transistors (FETs) with gate-all-around structures and typical 
      diameter of 20 nm. These devices, which we have successfully fabricated and 
      evaluated, control the ambipolar behaviour of the nanostructure by selectively 
      enabling one type of carriers. These transistors work as switches with 
      electrically programmable polarity and thus realize an exclusive or operation. 
      The intrinsic higher expressive power of these FETs, when compared with standard 
      complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology, enables us to realize more 
      efficient logic gates, which we organize as tiles to realize nanowire systems by 
      regular arrays. This article surveys both the technology for double independent 
      gate FETs as well as physical and logic design tools to realize digital systems 
      with this fabrication technology.
