Nanotrench for nano and microparticle electrical interconnects

Electrical interconnects revitalized

Models of electrical interconnects, including inductance and skin effect, are reviewed. The models are used for estimating the performance of electrical interconnects, particularly related to delays, data rates, and power consumption for off-chip and on-chip interconnects and for clock distribution. It is demonstrated that correctly utilized, electrical interconnects do not severely limit chip ...

Nano-/Microparticle Tracers for Evaluating Structures in Fractured Porous Media

Nanoand microparticle tracers are expected to be used for evaluating structures in geological developments, however their transport behavior is not well characterized. This study investigated nanoparticle transport in a fractured medium through a microscope. A single fracture and rock matrix (grain and pore space) were fabricated on a silicon wafer, which is called a micromodel. Water and nanop...

Second harmonic spectroscopy of aqueous nano- and microparticle interfaces.

Applications of the interface-selective methods of second harmonic (SHG) and sum frequency (SFG) spectroscopy to the investigation of equilibrium and time-dependent properties of interfaces are increasing at an explosive rate.1-53 Among the interfaces studied with these methods are liquid/ gas, solid/gas, and the buried liquid/liquid, liquid/solid, and solid/solid interfaces.35,36,39,41,51,53 I...

Electrical Properties of Carbon Nanotube Bundles for Future Via Interconnects

Macromodeling of Electrical Interconnects and Packages via Peec Approach

This paper deals with model order reduction of multi-input-multi-output structures described by Partial Element Equivalent Circuits (PEEC). A Krylovbased algorithm is adopted, that guarantees the stability and the passivity of the obtained reduced circuit with good accuracy. Our procedure is validated by means of a simple example made of two parallel stacked traces with air filling, representin...
