Abstract Interconnect materials play the critical role of routing energy and information in integrated circuits. However, established bulk conductors, such as copper, perform poorly when scaled down beyond 10 nm, limiting scalability logic devices. Here, a multi‐objective search is developed, combined with first‐principles calculations, to rapidly screen over 15,000 discover new interconnect candidates. This approach simultaneously optimizes electronic conductivity, surface scattering time,...
In this brief, the high-quality carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is grown by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, and it used as an ultrafine flip-chip interconnection material in proposed 3-D integrated circuit (3DIC) system. We show patterned growth of multiwalled CNTs on substrate with prestructured bond pads including complete metallization system for electrical characterization. succeeded achieving reliable connections between CNT-covered contact metal during room temperature bonding...

High-quality and the large area Carbon Nano-Tube (CNTs) is grown by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method in different trench structures for potential applications on vertically three-dimension integrated circuits (3DICs). It's unique material properties, including Resistivity (p), thermal conductivity (k), coefficient of expansion (CTE), Young's modulus (E) make it viable monolithic 3D technologies. Besides well-known lower p CNTs easier electron carrier transport, higher k-value CNTs-...
