  • Abstract
    We report the electrical characteristics of carbon nanotube (CNT) vias of diameters down to 30 nm for potential application as on-chip interconnects. A CNT packing or areal density of 1.2×1011/cm2 inside a via has been obtained. The measured resistances of the CNT vias are used to project via resistances in sub-30 nm technology nodes.
