This paper describes an innovative system integration scheme wherein heterogeneous materials and devices, including photonic devices as well as electronics, are organically integrated on silicon-core circuitry to achieve better performance, higher functionality and lower cost. First, some general integration technology trends in semiconductor electronics are described. Then, after a discussion of new heterogeneous integration schemes based on silicon-core technologies, recent attempts and applications are shown such as low power LSIs, sensors and micromachine switches on silicon and millimeter-wave photonics. 205 Int.
