Abstract

This study incorpates Density Functional Theory (DFT) to investigate the influence of copper (Cu) and Iron (Fe) atom passivation on Boron Nitride Nanoribbons (ZBNRs). Through meticulous analysis, we explore their electronic and stuctrural properties, particularly focusing on edge states. 2Fe ZBNR shows the highest stability (−9.12eV) as compared other configurations. Calculation reveals that increased stability with escalating atom concentration. Band structure and Density of States (DOS) are examined, along with the viability of passivated ZBNRs as a application of metal interconnects. 1Fe ZBNR gives the highest Fermi energy((-4.46eV). Using different configurations of ZBNRs, we model nanoscale interconnect application. We analyze their efficacy interms of delay and other parameters. 1Cu ZBNR shows lowest interconnect delay (26.3us) as compared to other configurations. This exploration contributes to understanding the potential of BNRs in nanoelectronics interconnect.

作为纳米级互连器件的优化铜/铁掺杂氮化硼纳米带：DFT 研究

本研究采用密度泛函理论（DFT）研究铜（Cu）和铁（Fe）原子钝化对氮化硼纳米带（ZBNRs）的影响。通过细致的分析，我们探索了它们的电子和结构特性，尤其是边缘态。与其他构型相比，2Fe ZBNR 显示出最高的稳定性（-9.12eV）。计算表明，随着原子浓度的增加，稳定性也在增加。我们还研究了带结构和状态密度 (DOS)，以及钝化 ZBNR 作为金属互连器件应用的可行性。1Fe ZBNR 具有最高的费米能（-4.46eV）。我们使用不同配置的 ZBNRs 建立了纳米级互连应用模型。我们分析了它们在延迟和其他参数方面的功效。与其他配置相比，1Cu ZBNR 显示出最低的互连延迟（26.3us）。这一探索有助于了解 BNR 在纳米电子互连中的潜力。
