Abstract :
Closed form model for skin and proximity effect is necessary for GSI interconnects. In this paper, exact formulation for current distribution inside multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) bundles is derived using multiconductor transmission line model. The current distribution is different from copper wires and it is geometry dependent because of kinetic inductance and quantum capacitance. This current distribution is used to compute and formulate high frequency resistance of MWCNT bundles.
