N2 - Transistor scaling is the major contributor toward continuous improvement of circuit performance. However, the reduction of transistor dimensions increases several fabrication and design challenges. In this sense, several post CMOS devices are being investigated. Recently, the magnetoresistive spin-diode was proposed and the possibility to implement logic gates exploiting this kind of device has been demonstrated. The spin-diode technology has the INV, NOR2 and XNOR2 as basis logic functions, which is quite different from the CMOS basic gates. This paper proposes an algorithm that improves the state-of-The-Art synthesis algorithm for the spin-diode technology. Also, this paper presents some optimized designs of functions that appear frequently in circuits. Results show a reduction of more than 3% in number of diodes, compared to the state-of-The-Art algorithm.
