Abstract:Abstract-As CMOS technology is scaled, it has become increasingly difficult for conventional copper interconnect to satisfy different design requirements. On-chip optical interconnect has been considered as a potential substitute for electrical interconnect. In this paper, predictions of the performance of CMOS compatible optical devices are made based on current state-ofart optical technologies. Based on these predictions, electrical and optical interconnects are compared for delay uncertainty, latency, power… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
