SPICE compatible CNT interconnect and CNTFET models in Verilog-A hardware description language are presented in this paper. Metallic CNTs are shown to have current saturation characteristics above a threshold voltage and then modelled with piecewise linear functions. On the other hand, the CNTFET mo...
