Carbon Nanotube SRAM in 5-nm Technology Node Design, Optimization, and Performance Evaluation—Part II: CNT Interconnect Optimization

The size and parameter optimization for the 5-nm carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNFET) static random access memory (SRAM) cell was presented in Part I of this article. Based on that work, we propose a carbon nanotube (CNT) SRAM array composed of the schematically optimized CNFET SRAM and CNT interconnects. We consider the interconnects inside the CNFET SRAM cell composed of metallic sing...
