TY - JOUR TI - A new fractional thermal model for the Cu/Low-k interconnects in nanometer integrated circuit AU - Zhang Pei-Ling AU - Wang Kang-Jia JN - Thermal Science PY - 2022 VL - 26 IS - 3 SP - 2413 EP - 2418 PT - Article AB - In this paper, the Cu/Low-k interconnects in a nanoscale integrated circuit are considered. A new fractal conventional heat transfer equation is suggested using He's fractal derivative. The two-scale transform method is applied for solving the equation approximately. The new findings, which the traditional differential models can never reveal, shed a bright light on the optimal design of a nanoscale integrated circuit.
