The performance of integrated circuits has been growing exponentially, which has resulted in the development of a variety of VLSI products for communications, computers, and medical applications. The increase in the performance is mainly due to the decrease in the dimensions of the integrated circuit chip. To sustain this improvement, the industry has to overcome several technological challenges in...
An analysis of the influence of tube diameter on single-walled nanotube (SWCNT) bundle interconnect delay is presented. The analysis shows that due to low resistance and inductance SWCNT-bundle interconnect is of lower delay than copper interconnect. Delay increases with increase in tube diameter of SWCNT. It is desirable to restrict tube diameter to the minimum possible.
Tungsten trioxide (WO3) thin films with Pt and Cu electrodes are characterized regarding the suitability for nonvolatile memory applications. Cells down to 70 ?? 70 nm2 are fabricated by a combination of e-beam and nanoimprint lithography. The electrical measurements reveal good properties with switching currents of only 500 nA, fast SET and RESET switching down to 5 ns and retention for 104 s with...
The paper presents recent advances in carbon nanotube interconnect modeling, with focus on their application to nanoscale chip packaging. An enhanced electrical model of carbon nanotube bundles is used, able to take into account the effects of different nanotube sizes covered by this application. The use of carbon nanotubes as chip to package interconnects at nanoscale dimensions is analyzed and the...
This paper presents high Q and high current on-chip inductors manufactured in an innovative Radio Frequency (RF) Back End Of Line (BEOL), made of two 3 mum thick top copper levels, integrated in an Advanced Low Power 65 nm RF CMOS technology. Achieved inductors using this optimized RF BEOL are firstly reported, compared with those using one single thick copper level BEOL, and benchmarked with current...
Experimental investigation of electrode potential voltage drop in liquid metal magnetohydrodynamic(LMMHD) power generator is presented in the paper. Resistance between two electrodes were measured by micro-ohmmeter with 0~20 mOmega range in different apart distance of electrodes and contact surface area. The results show that the contact resistance between liquid metal and copper electrode is very...
This paper presents the results of the investigation concerning the structure and properties of Al-Cu coatings produced on GX-20NiCrSi3617 cast steel directly in a casting mould. The phase constitution of the coatings and the mathematical equations describing the depth of carburization as a function of chemical composition and coatings' thickness have been also presented.
