چکیده
As miniaturization of microelectronics reaches sub-10 nm scale, signal crosstalk and parasitic resistive-capacitive delay significantly limit device performance. While low dielectric constant (low-κ) dielectrics are widely recognized to address such issue, their poor thermal conductivity impedes heat management. Recently, scientists from Northwestern University Virginia demonstrated the fabrication pristine covalent organic framework (COF) thin films as a thermally conducting low-κ dielectric. Specifically, reported COF-5 film complements value (κ = 1.6) with high (1 W m−1 K−1), offering promising adaptations in power density. Driven by ever-growing demand market sophisticated yet slick electronic devices, microelectronic an unprecedented level, where chips developed utilized maximize density components per unit area. At however, insulating material that separates conductive supports chip mechanical integrity can undergo charge polarization driven surrounding electric field. In turn, this phenomenon hampers performance causing response delay, crosstalk, increased consumption.1Volksen W. Miller R.D. Dubois G. Low materials.Chem.
