Abstract

Based on physical models, circuit models are presented for SWNTs, SWNT-bundles and MWNTs. These models can be used for circuit simulations and compact modeling. It is demonstrated that by customizing CNT interconnects at the local, semiglobal and global levels several major challenges facing GSI systems can potentially be addressed. For local interconnects, mono- or few-layer SWNT interconnects can offer up to 50% reduction in capacitance and power dissipation with considerable improvements in latency if they are short enough (
