Carbon Nanotube Interconnect:<br />

Open Problems<br />

• Inefficient metal-nanotube contacts<br />

• makes propagation delay with CNT interconnects higher than with<br />

Cu interconnects<br />

• Small MFP length<br />

• MFP lengths need to be increased to reduce CNT propagation<br />

delay<br />

• Density of nanotube bundles<br />

• needed for global CNT interconnects that perform better than Cu<br />

interconnects<br />

• Inductive effects at high frequencies<br />

• currently inductive effects are ignored but expected to become<br />

significant at very high frequencies
