Abstract

We investigate the use of bundled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as nano-antennas for chip-to-chip and on-chip communications. We model CNTs as hollow tubes with complex surface conductivity. This is implemented in two finite-elements-method 3D electromagnetic solvers. Single-CNT-arms dipoles are simulated to validate our modeling approach by comparing our results to those found in literature. We then extend the study to bundles of CNTs. Finally we simulate the transmission between two CNT dipoles.
