Nowadays planar graphene based interconnects known as graphene nano-ribbons (GNR), are used for interconnections in VLSI and ULSI chips. The form of GNR which is widely used is multi layer graphene nano-ribbon (MLGNR). In this paper study of propagation delay of a driver-interconnect-load system (DIL) has been carried out along with MLGNR beyond 16nm and comparison has been made with the DIL systems used at 16 nm. In this work different numbers of devices that are connected in parallel have also been considered for three different operating regions like super threshold region, near threshold region, and sub threshold region.
