Frequency-thermal characterization of on-chip single-walled carbon nanotube interconnects

The equivalent circuit model of on-chip GSG interconnects is presented, with the frequency-dependent impedance extracted by using partial-element equivalent circuit (PEEC) method. Based on the circuit model, the studies on high-frequency performance of on-chip single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) interconnects are performed. The kinetic inductance effect, as well as temperature effect, is carefully considered by employing the effective complex conductivity.
