Performance Analysis of Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Based on Carbon Nanomaterials Used in AMS/RF IC Design

Abstract

Integrated circuits are a source of electromagnetic interference whose energy is radiated significantly to other objects around them. Different techniques have been used to avoid such electromagnetic radiation, which can modify the operation of other circuits, such as the use of coatings to produce electromagnetic interference shielding. With the introduction of nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene embedded in polymeric matrices, it is possible to increase the efficiency of the shielding to very high frequencies. This chapter presents a performance analysis of the carbon nanomaterials as materials used to produce electromagnetic interference shielding in AMS/RF IC design.
