Polymers can be used as temporary place holders in the fabrication of embedded air gaps in
a variety of electronic devices. Embedded air cavities can provide the lowest dielectric …

An integrated circuit (IC), or chip, is a set of electronic circuits and components placed on a
tiny planar silicon (Si) semiconductor substrate. These electronics circuits and components …

Frequency and time domain models are developed for backplane (BP), printed circuit board
(PCB), and silicon interposer (SI) links using six-port transfer matrices (ABCD matrices) for …

The scalability of the crossbar array is critical for performing complex computation tasks, as
large-scale synaptic arrays are required to complete the operations. To address the …

Planar copper interconnects suffer from surface roughness that results in their performance
degradation. In this paper, we investigate the role of rough conductor surfaces on the …

Modeling approaches are developed to optimize emerging on-chip and off-chip electrical
interconnect technologies and benchmark them against conventional technologies. While …
