Efficient and Compact Electrical Modeling of Multi Walled Carbon Nanotube Interconnects

Multi Walled Carbon Nano Tubes (MWCNT´s) have received a lot of attention in recent years as an alternative to copper based interconnects due to it´s highly metallic nature. In this work, we develop a compact and efficient electrical model of MWCNT in the footsteps of equivalent electrical model of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNT´s). Elmore delay based estimation methods are used to derive the performance numbers for MWCNT bundles. The proposed model is compared with SPICE and it is found that the proposed model is almost 100% accurate as SPICE.
