Electromagnetic modeling of carbon nanotube interconnects

In this paper, we utilize frequency-dependant complex conductivity of metallic single wall CNTs (SWNT) and within the classical Maxwellian formulation numerically solve for several CNT interconnects. The analysis with commercial software tools based on the method of moments (MoM) and finite element method (FEM) is thoroughly validated and used for extracting the S-parameters of half-wavelength dipole pair, atomic layer deposition (ALD) enabled nano-coaxial, Sommerfeld's and Goubau's transmission lines.
