Silicon Photonics - Fundamentals and Devices
Abstract
There is no doubt that one of today's bottlenecks faced by IC designers is that of electrical interconnects. Electrical connections in integrated circuits introduce larger time delays than the gate delay itself and multilayered interconnections need insulators between them. Optical interconnections can solve both these problems (and partially also that of crosstalk); this is the motivation because silicon (Si) photonics came into play in the …
