This paper tries to theoretically analyze and optimize novel air-clad interconnect structures developed at the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Georgia Tech and University of Florida. Analytical models developed facilitate a quick and thorough design space exploration and also help quantify the improvement in aggregate bandwidth and power dissipation.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Ph.D. student Vachan Kumar received the Best Student Poster Award at the IEEE Global Interposer Technology Workshop, which was held on November 14-15 in Atlanta.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Ph.D. student Vachan Kumar received the Best Student Poster Award at the IEEE Global Interposer Technology Workshop, which was held on November 14-15 in Atlanta."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2012-02-15 16:15:19","changed_gmt":"2022-05-26 17:09:36","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2012-02-15T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2012-02-15T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"149","name":"Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth - School of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
