To realize nanocarbons in general and carbon nanotube (CNT) in particular as on-chip
interconnect materials, the contact resistance stemming from the metal–CNT interface must …

Carbon nanotubes tend to collapse when their diameters exceed a certain threshold, or
when a sufficiently large external pressure is applied on their walls. The radial stability of …

A polarized light source covering a wide wavelength range is required in applications across
diverse fields, including optical communication, photonics, spectroscopy, and imaging. For …

A high contact resistance restricts the application of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in fabrication
of field‐effect transistors (FETs). Thus, it is important to decrease the contact resistance and …

We present electrical current assisted graphitization as an alternative to conventional high
temperature annealing of carbon nanofibers. In-situ experiments were performed on …

In this paper, we investigate key reliability limiting factors of bilayer graphene (BLG)/copper
hybrid interconnect system by examining its current-induced breakdown behavior and …

Abstract We present Suspended Carbon Nanofibers featuring a central nanometric gap
fabricated by integration of Electro-Mechanical Spinning, pyrolysis of ultraviolet-cured …

In a carbon nanofiber (CNF)-metal system such as a bridge between two gold electrodes,
passing high current (current stressing) reduces the total resistance of the system (CNF …

Transport properties under current stress are examined for a carbon nanofiber (CNF) on an
insulating substrate between tungsten-deposited gold electrodes. The temperature …

We propose to use carbon nanotube (CNT)–CNT contacts instead of CNT–metal contacts as
a route towards low resistance CNT horizontal interconnects. We characterize by electrical …
