A simple approach based on the commercial package PSIM (R) is used for simulating the behaviour of a principle InterConnect (IC) based on a Single Wall Carbon NanoTube(SWCNT) modelled by an equivalent Transmission Line (TL). The simulator is also employed for computing all the per unit length parameters of the TL in terms of the geometrical, physical and thermal dependencies of the considered structure. An equivalent two port circuit is developed that can be used both for time and frequency domain analysis of the nano-ICs, including also the interesting feature of the evaluation of the performances ranges occurring in presence of characteristic parameter variations.

Abstract
A simple approach based on the commercial package PSIM (R) is used for simulating the behaviour of a principle InterConnect (IC) based on a Single Wall Carbon NanoTube(SWCNT) modelled by an equivalent Transmission Line (TL). The simulator is also employed for computing all the per unit length parameters of the TL in terms of the geometrical, physical and thermal dependencies of the considered structure. An equivalent two port circuit is developed that can be used both for time and frequency domain analysis of the nano-ICs, including also the interesting feature of the evaluation of the performances ranges occurring in presence of characteristic parameter variations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
