Theoretical values are included for comparison, shown in dotted line Narrow conductors, like sample Nos.B1 and A1 show that their propagation delays (v = ?/) are much longer and the characteristic impedances are far more frequency-dependent than those of the wider lines. The high resistance has made the nanowire slower compared to conventional transmission lines. Good agreement can be seen between the model and the actual values, except for sample No.A1 At 90 GHz, its Re(Zc) is 27.8% lower than the simulation while ? and are 13.0% and 12.5% higher, respectively. Im(Zc), on the other hand, matches perfectly with the theoretical value. It is likely that elements like inductance/capacitance associated with quantum transport effect need to be added to physically interpret the additional latency and losses in sample No.A1. However, it is true that they might not be as impressive as in the case of a CNT [27]. An interesting design problem is: can we make use of the appearance of slow wave while avoiding high conduction losses by utilizing a multiple nanowire system? Let us examine the performance of a parallel combination of nanowires and a single wire having the same amount of conductor. Sample No.A2 b and B1 will be a perfect example (Figure 3.117 and Figure 3.118) Sample No.A1 is included for comparison, If comparing sample Nos.A1 and B1, 39.5% increase in can be observed at 90 GHz. Yet, the increase is only 5.6% if two nanowires of the same dimension as sample No.A1 are used instead (sample No.A2 b ). Its attenuation is effectively reduced but still higher than Sample No.B1 by 16%. A reasonable trade-off may be made to achieve desired circuit performance ,
