Zigzag graphene nanoribbon antidot lattice for local interconnect applications: a precise computational method

چکیده مقاله

In this paper, a distributed model is used to examine the efficiency of zigzag graphene nanoribbons with antidots for local
interconnect applications. Besides calculating the model parameters using precise equations and considering the full bandstructure,
the effects of introducing an antidot and its dimension on the performance of zigzag graphene nanoribbon interconnects
are studied in HSPICE. The results of a local interconnect obtained from distributed transmission line show that:
(1) While delay is directly related to resistance, capacitance, and inductance of the interconnect, rise-time, and fall-time are
inversely related to inductance, and directly related to resistance, and capacitance. (2) Temperature is an effective parameter
on the efficiency of the local interconnect; unlike global interconnect, temperature increase can decrease delay, rise-time,
and fall-time. (3) By introducing antidot and adjusting its dimension, the rise-time, fall-time, and delay can be decreased
significantly.
