B3.00001: Silicon lasers, integration, interconnect, etc. at Intel Invited Speaker: In this talk, we discuss integrated silicon photonic technologies that enable Tbit/s optical link for future VLSI interconnect applications. We also review the recent advances in various fundamental building blocks, including high-speed silicon optical modulator, SiGe detector, and hybrid silicon laser. [Preview Abstract] |

B3.00003: Silicon integrated nanophotonics for on-chip interconnects Invited Speaker: Current trend in microelectronics industry is to increase the parallelism in computation by multi-threading, by building large scale multi-chip systems and, more recently, by increasing the number of cores on a single chip. With such increase of parallelization the interconnect bandwidth between the racks, chips or different cores is becoming a limiting factor for the design of high performance computer systems. The on-chip ultrahigh-bandwidth silicon-based photonic network might provide an attractive solution to this bandwidth bottleneck. We will review recent results on silicon nanophotonic circuits based on photonic wires and photonic crystals. Strong light confinement at the diffraction limit enables dramatic scaling of the device area and allows unprecedented control over optical signals. Silicon nanophotonic devices have immense capacity for low-loss, high-bandwidth data processing that might enable the design of ultra-compact on-chip optical networks. In particular we will show recent results on design and characterization of various ultra-compact ($<$0.03mm2) silicon nanophotonic circuits as optical delay lines, electro-optic modulators, broadband optical switches, wavelength filters, etc. [Preview Abstract] |

B3.00005: Monolithic Integration of Photonic and Electronic Circuits in a CMOS Process Invited Speaker: We present our approach to a low-cost, highly scalable opto-electronic integration platform in silicon. We have developed a process in a commercial CMOS foundry that enables tightly integrated photonic devices and electronic circuits. The device library includes optical and opto-electronic components as well as electronic circuits. In this talk, we detail the performance of the building blocks and highlight the performance trade-offs encountered in integrating different functions on the same chip. We describe an opto-electronic circuit design toolkit, which is modeled after the standard electronic design flow and builds on commercial circuit design tools. The design flow includes automated design rule checking and layout-versus-schematic checks covering all types of circuit elements. As an example, we detail the design of a multi-channel transceiver chip with 10 Gbps/channel optical data transmission speed and report on its performance. [Preview Abstract] |
