    CMOS-compatible on-chip optical interconnects
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2009) Pownall, Robert Elliott, author; Lear, Kevin L., advisor
    The increase in complexity of integrated circuits (ICs) over the past five decades has resulted increasing demands on the interconnect layers. In the past decade, the ability of conventional "electrical signal down a metal wire" interconnect to keep up with the increasing demands placed on interconnect has come more and more into question. To meet the increasing demands on interconnect and to get around the limitation of conventional "metal wire" interconnect, various forms of optical interconnect have been proposed.
