Modeling of Mixed CNT Bundle for Sub-threshold Interconnects

摘要

In this paper, we report the analysis of Mixed Carbon nanotube bundle (MCB) as potential interconnects in the sub-threshold regime. MCBs with specific and random arrangement of non-identical MWCNT diameters are proposed. The sub-threshold crosstalk delay has been obtained analytically for different MCB arrangements and is compared with SPICE simulation results. It is found that there is significant improvement in crosstalk induced delay for MCB where SWCNTs are located in the centre while MWCNTs are at periphery in the bundle.
