Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) can be an attractive candidate for vertical interconnects (vias) in 3D integrated circuits due to their excellent thermal and electrical properties. To investigate CNT electrical resistivity, test vias were fabricated using both a top-down and bottom-up process. The measured resistivity of 10 mΩ-cm is among the better values in literature. The ability to grow CNT directly on single-grain thin-film transistors (SG-TFT) was demonstrated. The electrical performance of the SG-TFT was found not to be influenced by the CNT growth.
