NANOWIRE OR 2D MATERIAL STRIPS INTERCONNECTS IN AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CELL

摘要

An integrated circuit design tool includes a cell library. The cell library includes entries for a plurality of cells, entries in the cell library including specifications of particular cells in a computer executable language. At least one entry in the cell library can comprise a specification of physical structures and timing parameters of a circuit including a first transistor, a second transistor, and an interconnect connecting a terminal of the first transistor to a terminal of the second transistor, the interconnect comprising one or more nanowires or 2D material strips arranged in parallel. An integrated circuit including the circuit is described.

1. A circuit, comprising:
a first transistor, a second transistor, and an interconnect connecting a terminal of the first transistor to a terminal of the second transistor, the interconnect comprising one or more nanowires or 2D material strips arranged in parallel; and patterned conductors including nanowires or 2D material strips, wherein a first set of nanowires in the patterned conductors is arranged as a first patterned conductor in a first direction over an area where channels of the first transistor and the second transistor are disposed, and a second set of nanowires in the patterned conductors is arranged as a second patterned conductor in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and over the first set of nanowires.
