In Materials Today – Proceedings. Thessaloniki, Greece: Elsevier, 2016. ISSN 2214-7853. Vol. 3, N.º 3, pp. 772-7792214-7853http://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/9712The majority logic function has a true output value whenever more than half of the inputs have a true value. Majority logic, also known as majority voting, is used in many systems, for fault-tolerant design, in bioelectronics, and quantum dot cellular automata. The pi'npin heterostructure p-i'(a-SiC:H)-n/p-i(a-Si:H)-n can be illuminated from both back and front surfaces. Steady state illumination, optical bias, controls the light-to-dark sensitivity in the visible range. Several input data channels, each with a different wavelength, illuminate the front surface. Results show that a majority function of 3 and 5 inputs (MAJ-3, MAJ-5) is built with the pi'npin device projecting the way for a MAJ-n function.engOptoelectronicsAmorphous silicona-Si:CDigital light signalLogical functionsMajority functionMaj-nPinPhotosensorconference object10.1016/j.matpr.2016.02.008
