▎ 摘  要

Numerous studies on materials have driven the development of modern nanoelectronic devices. And research also shown that the integrated circuits have entered the era of the nanoelectronic scales from the scale of microelectronics. But the limitations of copper as a traditional connection, such as the resistivity increases a lot, further causing a lot of heat in the interconnect, have been highlighted. Therefore, we need new materials as the substitution of copper. The metallic properties exhibited by the zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) can be controlled by the edge states, doping and different widths of the nanoribbons. In this paper, we applied simulation to dope copper atom chains on ZGNRs. We found an energetic phenomenon that after doping the nanoribbons conductivity have increased significantly than the original. In addition, the transmission channels are mainly concentrated near the doping position, and the width used for transmission is greatly reduced after doping. It is expected to be used as an inter-connect application in nano-integrated circuits in the future.
