Abstract :
In this paper, multilayer graphene nanoribbon (GNR) is proposed as an emerging interconnect solution, which can be integrated with GNR devices to establish a monolithic GNR circuit. Both interconnect resistance and gate capacitance in this circuit are significantly reduced, leading to an RC delay improvement up to 60%. Since the interconnect performance determines the IC operations, this proposed monolithic GNR electronics open new opportunities to establish high-performance nanoscale ICs.
