Modeling of ac quantum transport through imperfect carbon nanotube interconnects by means of nonequilibrium Green’s functions

Because of their long mean free path and superior current-carrying capabilities, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered as an alternative for Cu in future interconnects. To simulate their dynamical properties, a linear equivalent-circuit model is usually invoked containing, among other things, a kinetic inductance and a quantum capacitance. As this equivalent circuit has been derived for […]
