Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: As the CMOS semiconductor technology enters nanometer regime, interconnect processes must be compatible with device roadmaps and meet manufacturing targets at the specified wafer size. The resulting ubiquitous process variations cause errors in data delivering through interconnects.  proposes an Information Theory based design method to accommodate process variations. Different from the traditional delay based design metric, the current approach uses achievable rate to relate interconnect designs directly to communication applications. More specifically, the data communication over a typical interconnect, a bus, subject to process variations (“uncertain” bus), is defined as a communication problem under uncertainty. A data rate, called the achievable rate, is computed for such a bus, which represents the lor bound on the maximal data rate attainable over the bus. When a data rate applied over the bus is smaller than the achievable data rate, a reliable communication can be guaranteed regardless of process variations, i.e., a bit error rate arbitrarily close to zero is achievable. A single communication strategy to combat the process variations is proposed whose code rate is equal to the computed achievable rate. The simulations show that the variations in the interconnect resistivity could have the most harmful effect regarding the achievable rate reduction. Also, the simulations illustrate the importance of taking into account bus parasitic parameters correlations when measuring the influence of the process variations on the achievable rates.
