Abstract:The bandwidth provided by optical interconnects makes them an attractive solution for chip-to-package and chip-to-chip communications. In such systems, chips will have optical I/O interconnects fabricated alongside their conventional electrical counterparts. Virtually no work has been previously reported relating to the testing of such chips at the wafer-level. The requirements for probe hardware needed to achieve this are identified, and probe module configurations based on these requirements are presented. A… 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.
