✦ Synopsis
Carbon nanotubes with their outstanding electrical and mechanical properties are suggested as an interconnect material of the future. In this paper we will introduce nanotubes, compare their electrical properties with equivalent metal wires made of gold and describe our progress in process integration. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes are grown on 6-inch wafers in a batch process. The resulting nanotubes are evaluated with respect to their conductance as single multiwalled nanotubes and in their implementation as interconnects in vias and contact holes.

## Abstract Carbon nanotubes are promising candidates for futuristic nanoelectronic applications. In this article, we present a comprehensive modeling and calculation of electrostatic capacitances for various metallic carbon nanotube systems that can be used to model interconnects in nanotechnology
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 transport measurements and Kelvin probe force microscopy the contacts present in CNT horizontal interconnects grown by chem
