Abstract

Influence of separation between adjacent tubes of various lengths and tube diameters, on delay and power dissipation in single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) bundle interconnect has been analyzed. The results are compared with those of currently used copper interconnects at 22nm technology node. SPICE simulation results reveal that delay increases with an increase in the separation between adjacent tubes for the entire range of length values and tube diameters whereas the reverse is true for power dissipation.
