Abstract:Continuous increase of transistor count in ultra-large-scale integrated (ULSI) circuits demands denser interconnection networks to guarantee normal operation. As the distances between adjacent interconnect lines shrinks, severe crosstalk effects appear. New interconnect materials and technologies are proposed to alleviate deteriorating crosstalk effects and maintain overall circuit performance at a desirable level. Carbon-based materials including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are amo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
