Abstract
This letter introduces a new method for stability analysis of carbon nanotube (CNT) interconnects based on transmission line modeling and using the Nyquist stability criterion for the first time. Using this new method, the degree of relative stability for CNT bundle interconnects, versus the length of bundle and the diameter of each individual CNT, has been obtained. The obtained results show that with increasing the length of the CNT bundle and the diameter of each individual CNT interconnect, the relative stability increases, and the system becomes more stable.
