Electromagnetic compatibility concepts at nanoscale

We present a new concept of nano electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for nanoelectronics, based on the synthesis of the classical electrodynamics and quantum transport theory in nanostructures. We demonstrate that classical EMC concepts such as coupling, shielding, and impedance matching, should be reconsidered taking into account quantum correlations and tunneling, as well as spin-spin and dipole-dipole interactions. As a result equivalent circuits will contain additional elements of quantum nature, which significantly influence the EMC. The main concept is illustrated by the example of carbon nanotube based interconnects. We also briefly discuss the major challenges in nanoEMC and its future perspectives.
