Comprehensive review on high-frequency CNT-based interconnects

Abstract

This review focuses on the recent advances of metallic carbon nanotubes (m-CNTs) towards their implementation as interconnects in high-frequency (HF) applications. S-parameters of fabricated passive devices using m-CNTs are summarized and discussed as well as the device characteristics. In addition, compact and analytical models of CNT-based interconnects are reviewed in detail and model improvements are proposed.
