Abstract
Graphene nanoribbon (GNR) based circuit and interconnects are now an emerging research interest. GNR based interconnect is now coming out as good alternative of copper as interconnect due to its excellent thermal and electrical behavior. Due to the geometrical and physical properties of GNR, it can be routed only along \(0^{\circ }\), \(60^{\circ }\), and \(120^{\circ }\) angles. Of these three routing angles cost due to \(120^{\circ }\) bending is three times than that of \(60^{\circ }\) bending. Hence for routing the use of \(120^{\circ }\) bending should be as minimum as possible. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for the construction of global routing tree for Graphene nanoribbon interconnect using computational geometry approach.
