ABSTRACT
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are recently discovered materials [1] made by rolled sheets of graphene of diameters on the order of nanometers and lengths up to millimeters (Figures 1.1 and 1.2). Because of their outstanding electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties [2, 3], CNTs have been proposed as emerging materials offering solutions to many of the problems presented by the strict requirements of technology nodes below 22 nm [4, 5]. At present, CNTs are considered for a large variety of micro-and nanoelectronics applications, such as nanointerconnects [6-8], nanopackages [9], nanotransistors [10], nanopassives [11], and nanoantennas [12], [13]. Recently, theoretical predictions have been confirmed by the first real-world
