Dependence of electrical and thermal parameters of CNT bundles on their geometry

Jain N., Solid state physics lab, IN

Carbon nanotube bundles are being considered for VLSI interconnect applications due to their superior electrical and thermal properties. In this paper we report the variation in electrical and thermal conductance as well as inductance of [...]

Using Spiral Inductors for Detecting Hybridization of DNAs Labeled with Magnetic Beads

Azimi S.M., Bahmanyar M.R., Zolgharni M., Balachandran W., Brunel University, UK

This paper introduces an inductance-based sensor for detection of DNA hybridization and investigates its performance by means of computer simulation. In order to detect the occurrence of hybridization, single strand target DNA’s are tagged with [...]

Vector Potential Equivalent Circuit for Efficient Modeling of Interconnect Inductance

Pacelli A., SUNY-Stony Brook, US

We present a compact topology for inductive parasitics, using the vector potential as a state variable. The model is local, i.e., only coupling between neighboring wires is explicitly modeled. However, the topology accounts for long-range [...]

Scalability and High Frequency Extensions of the Vector Potential Equivalent Circuit (VPEC)

Mukherjee B., Wang L., Wang P., Wang L., Wang P., Pacelli A., Stony Brook University, US

We present a complete modeling technique for inductive parasitics, based on the vector potential equivalent circuit (VPEC) topology. Novel algorithms for layout extraction and sparsification are introduced. Examples are discussed in terms of CPU time, [...]

Unified RLC Model for On-Chip Interconnects

Sim S-P., Yang C., Santa Clara University, US

We present a unified RLC model for deep sub-micron on-chip interconnects. The model consists of two components, a quasi-3D capacitance extraction based on a novel concept of "effective width" and a effective loop inductance model. [...]

A Simple and Scalable Model for Spiral Inductors on Silicon

Sia C.B., Yeo K.S., Goh W.L., Swe T.N., Ma J.G., Do M.A., Lin J.S., Chan L., Nanyang Technological University, US

A new, simple and scalable inductor model for silicon-based spiral inductors has been presented in this paper. Compared to the conventional model, it can predict accurately the inductive characteristics and quality factor for inductors of [...]

Accurate Inductance Extraction with Permeable Materials Using Qualocation

Massoud Y., Wang J., White J.K., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

In this paper we present a more accurate method for solving a frequency-dependent inductance of 3-D structures that contains permeable materials. The extracted inductance using the new method is much more accurate than when using [...]

Fast Inductance Extraction of 3-D Structures with Non-Constant Permeabilities

Massoud Y., White J.K., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

In this paper we present a discretized integral formulation for calculating the frequency-dependent inductance and resistance for 3-D structures that contains permeable materials. The method uses a magnetic surface charge formulation, and we present analytic [...]
