Modeling a copper/carbon nanotube composite for applications in electronic packaging

A Survey of Carbon Nanotube Interconnects for Energy Efficient Integrated Circuits

“…6). The integration of aligned CNT-Cu composite materials in interconnect structures is now actively studied [88][89][90][91][92] and can lead to significant performance gain and reliability enhancement of integrated circuits.…”

Preparation of Graphite Dispersed Copper Composite on Copper Plate with Spot Welding

“…Therefore, coppergraphite composite promises to those properties for sliding contact. 2,3) Many methods have been developed to prepare graphite dispersed copper composite. The problem which is common to these methods is that copper does not wet on graphite.…”

On Finding a Simulation Model for Carbon Nanotubes as Through-Silicon-Vias

“…This contrasts with E. K. Farahani and R. Sarvari where they calculate and model a more apparent skin effect and skin depth in a 3 µm bundle of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) in the 100 GHz range [13]. The MWCNT bundles in [13] seem to be more subject to the skin effect than the SWCNT bundles in [12], however this could be due to the 3 µm via diameter in [13] compared to the 1 µm via diameter in [12] or differences in methodology.…”

“…This high frequency was chosen to reduce the skin depth to an extreme level which would reveal the skin effect in a bundle of 4nm diameter SWCNTs. In Figure 4 Burkett calculate that the skin effect in a 1 µm diameter TSV of comprised of 4 nm diameter SWCNTs is expected to be very limited [12]. As the diameter of the SWCNTs increase, the calculated current density normalizes across the via, and the skin depth increases [12].…”
