Based on the proposed resistance model and according to the trade-off theory, a novel optimization analytical model of delay, power dissipation and bandwidth is derived. The proposed optimal model is verified and compared based on 90 nm, 65 nm and 40 nm CMOS technologies. It can be found that more optimum results can be easily obtained by the proposed model. This optimization model is more accurate and realistic than the conventional optimization models, and can be integrated into the global interconnection design ofnano-scale integrated circuits.展开更多
