Abstract— Interconnect has become a primary bottleneck in integrated circuit design. As CMOS technology is scaled, it will become increasingly difficult for conventional copper ...
— Interconnect delays are increasingly becoming the dominant source of performance degradation in the nano-meter regime, largely because of disturbances that result from parasiti...
