I developed closed‑form analytical models for the transfer function and transient response of single‑layer graphene nanoribbon (GNR) interconnects, targeting rapid design‑space exploration without costly simulation loops.
The model focuses on single‑layer GNR interconnects, the simplest planar carbon‑based interconnect configuration for on‑chip applications.
Quantum capacitance is explicitly included because it dominates the 50 % delay and energy estimation at nanometer scales.
- Transfer function derived from resistance, inductance, geometric capacitance, and quantum capacitance.
- Analytic expressions for 50 % delay, 90 % rise time, and energy dissipation obtained from the time‑domain response.
- Validation against full‑wave electromagnetic simulations and literature data shows the models are highly accurate.
