Computer Aided Design Tools for Mixed Electronic/Photonic VLSI

Abstract

In this project, we have developed the physics-based models for photonic elements (sources, detectors and interconnects), expressed these in terms of electrical equivalents, and implemented then in the new Photonic SPICE. This transformation between the optical and the electrical dimensions have been performed in such a way that all effects of optical emission, propagation and detection are reproduced by their electronic counterparts. The physics-based models have been checked against experimental results.
