A CMOS-compatible plasmonic waveguide with a metal or metal-like strip sandwiched in-between dielectrics has been proposed for intra-chip communication in the more-than-Moore era. A sequence of numerical models has been presented to evaluate the plasmonic waveguide performance. For device-level cons...
