Chip-to-Chip Optical Interconnects (C2OI)

Abstract

The performance of electronic interconnect technologies, particularly for implementing high-speed communications channels on printed circuit boards and back planes, is currently being outpaced by the ever-advancing needs of Complimentary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) microprocessor chips. This performance gap in the on-chip and between chip interconnection technology will create substantial data throughput bottlenecks, deleteriously affecting future military-critical sensor signal processing systems. To address this pressing issue, the Chip-to-Chip Optical Interconnects (C2OI) program is developing optical technology for implementing chip-to-chip interconnects at the board and backplane level.
