In this contribution, we present a new approach to fully characterize interconnects composed out of arbitrary polygonal cross-sections and containing piecewise homogeneous material parameters. The complex per-unit-of-length inductance and capacitance matrices are obtained through the application of pertinent Dirichlet-to-Neumann operators, which are computed by means of an extended Fokas method, that are integrated in a boundary integral equation approach. As the complete RLGC-data of the structures under study is computed, we are able to assess relevant properties such as signal attenuation and cross-talk while the support for polygonal shapes allows for the inclusion of manufacturing effects such as etching.
Valley filtering in 8-Pmmn borophene based on an electrostatic waveguide constriction
Materials with tilted Dirac cones, such as 8-Pmmn borophene, are being explored for valleytronic applications as the tilting direction is different for nonequivalent valleys. In
