Abstract:
Carbon nanotube interconnection has been considered as substitute of copper interconnection in the future VLSI, due to its high current carrying capacity and thermal conductivity. The crosstalk effects in multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) interconnection are investigated with simulation software SPICE in this paper.Equivalent-circuit modelswhich based on electromagnetism and quantum theory were extractedare modified for MWCNT interconnection.The crosstalk of MWCNT interconnection in different diameters and lengths are simulated at room temperature. The performance of MWCNT interconnection is evaluated and compared with double-wall carbon nanotube (DWCNT). It turned out that MWCNT interconnection can achieve smaller crosstalk effects than that of same size DWCNT interconnection. The MWCNT interconnection is actually performed better.
