چکیده
In continuum to my previous paper titled ‘Implementation of plasmonics in VLSI’, this paper attempts to explore further, the actual physical realization of an all-plasmonic chip. In this paper, various methods of plasmon-based photolithography have been discussed and an observation is made w.r.t the cost effectiveness and ease of adaptability. Also, plasmonics based active element has been discussed which would help unravel further arenas of approaches and methods towards the realization of an all-plasmonic chip.

Implementation of Plasmonics in VLSI
This Paper presents the idea of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) using Plasmonic Waveguides. Current VLSI techniques are facing challenges with respect to clock frequencies which tend to scale up, making it more difficult for the designers to distribute and maintain low clock skew between these high frequency clocks across the entire chip. Surface Plasmons are light waves that occur at a met...

متن کاملSpice Compatible Model for Multiple Coupled Nonuniform Transmission Lines Application in Transient Analysis of VLSI Circuits
An SPICE compatible model for multiple coupled nonuniform lossless transmission lines (TL's) is presented. The method of the modeling is based on the steplines approximation of the nonuniform TLs and quasi-TEM assumptions. Using steplines approximation the system of coupled nonuniform TLs is subdivided into arbitrary large number of coupled uniform lines (steplines) with different characteristi...
