Time-Domain analysis of carbon nanotubes

Time-domain behavior of carbon nanotubes as the future candidates for interconnects is of great importance. In order to analyze an entire circuit containing carbon nanotube interconnects, we need to have an electrical circuit model for carbon nanotubes as well as the rest of the system. Several studies have demonstrated the extracted electrical elements of carbon nanotubes. At this paper, we're going to perform a comprehensive transient analysis on carbon nanotubes to achieve time-domain parameters like delay, rise time and overshoot. An overall transfer function of carbon nanotubes is obtained analytically. Besides, the time-domain quality metrics as well as relative stability based on the variation of the geometry of carbon nanotubes would be analyzed through simulation.
