SWCNTs May Offer Cooler Interconnects

TOP STORY... April 6, 2009

University at Buffalo engineers recently proved with quantum mechanics that single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) offer "cooling" properties far superior to those provided by metals in electronics. Nanotubes could replace many of the metals used in ICs now, argues Cemal Basaran, director of the university's Electronic Packaging Laboratory. "We've reached the point where metals just don't cut it in very small-scale electronics with high current densities," he said.
