  4. Abstract:
  5. The remarkable properties of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) make them attractive for nano-scale devices applications, especially for transistor and interconnect. Furthermore, for reduction interconnects signal delay, low dielectric constant materials are being introduced to replace conventional dielectrics in next generation IC technologies. With these regards, studding the effect of varying dielectric constant (e{open}r) on relative stability of graphene nanoribbons interconnect is an important viewpoint in performance evaluation of system. In this paper, Nyquist stability analysis based on transmission line modeling (TLM) for graphene nanoribbon interconnects is investigated. In this analysis, the dependence of the degree of relative stability for multilayer GNR (MLGNR) interconnects on the dielectric constant has been acquired. It is shown that, increasing the dielectric constant of each ribbon, MLGNR interconnects become more stable
