A novel scheme of quantum interconnections (QI) is proposed with a vie
w to creating next-generation integrated circuits (IC's). The new mode
of QI, that is, QI between ballistic electrons and cellular architect
ure (QIBBC), effectively combines the formerly proposed QI with ballis
tic and coherent electrons (QIB) and QI with cellular architecture (QI
C). The core concept of QIBBC is ''controlling electrons with electron
s'', which will lead to the realization of the ultimate device functio
n and density limit in future IC's. Through fundamental analyses, it w
as found that the velocity control of ballistic electrons is an essent
ial factor for QIBBC.
