This paper presents photonic devices with 3 dB/cm waveguide loss fabricated in an existing commercial electronic 45 nm SOI-CMOS foundry process and demonstrates an 8-channel optical microring-resonator filter bank and optical modulators, both controlled by integrated digital circuits.Abstract:
This paper presents photonic devices with 3 dB/cm waveguide loss fabricated in an existing commercial electronic 45 nm SOI-CMOS foundry process. By utilizing existing front-end fabrication processes the photonic devices are monolithically integrated with electronics in the same physical device layer as transistors achieving 4 ps logic stage delay, without degradation in transistor performance. We demonstrate an 8-channel optical microring-resonator filter bank and optical modulators, both controlled by integrated digital circuits. By developing a device design methodology that requires zero process infrastructure changes, a widely available platform for high-performance photonic-electronic integrated circuits is enabled.read more

Attojoule Optoelectronics for Low-Energy Information Processing and Communications
TL;DR: This work shows that the next major interconnect dissipations are in the electronic circuits for receiver amplifiers, timing recovery, and multiplexing, and it can address these through the integration of photodetectors to reduce or eliminate receiver circuit energies, free-space optics to eliminate the need for timing andmultiplexing circuits, and using optics generally to save power by running large synchronous systems.
