Abstract

Graphene nanoribbon based interconnect has several advantageous properties over traditional interconnect like power dissipation, delay, and integration capability. But each wire segment of Graphene nanoribbon based interconnect has a chance of failure as each wire segment is associated with some survival probability. Hence reliability issues can play a major role in the routing of this type of interconnect. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for global routing of Graphene nanoribbon based interconnect considering reliability as an optimization function with minimum increase in cost. The cost due to routing of Graphene nanoribbon based interconnect depends on the interconnect length, angle of bending, and the number of bending, and this is known as the hybrid cost. The experiment is done on a random data set and the result shows the effectiveness of the method.
