Graphene nanoribbons lower power, cooler than copper

摘要

Graphene will carry nearly 1,000-times more current and run over 10-times cooler than conventional copper interconnects below 22-nm line widths, according to researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech).rnThe speed (electron mobility) of graphene has already been touted as better than copper, but this Georgia Tech data on nanoribbons as small as 16-nanometers quantifies just how superior carbon is to copper.
