Abstract :
An empirical model is developed that takes into account heat transport through the entire carbon nanofiber interconnect test structure and breakdown location. This electrothermal transport model elucidates observed current capacity behavior, and predicts variations in contact location with the support material. The resulting heat dissipation and current capacity are completely consistent with measurement data.
