Bridging the AC Non-Equilibrium Green’s Function Formalism and Transmission Line Models for the Analysis of Nanointerconnects
The unfavorable scaling of Cu interconnects at nanoscale dimensions has prompted the search for alternative materials. To model electron transport in these novel nanointerconnects, both steady-state non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) techniques and transmission line (TL) models have been employed. While steady-state NEGF enables a first-principles analysis of the transmission through realistic nanostructures, it cannot capture […]
