Due to the increasing growth of processing cores in complex computational systems, all the connection converted bottleneck for all systems. With the protection of progressing and constructing complex photonic connection on chip, optical data transmission is the best choice for replacing with electrical interconnection for the reason of gathering connection with a high bandwidth and insertion lo...

Optical interconnect is seen as a potential solution to meet the performance requirements of current and future generation of data processors. Optical interconnects have negligible frequency dependent loss, low cross talk and high band width. Optical interconnects are not much used commercially since optical interconnects technology is incompatible with manufacturing processes and assembly meth...

As feature sizes decrease to the submicrometer regime and clock rates increase to the multigigahertz range, the limited bandwidth at higher bit rates and longer communication distances in electrical interconnects will create a major bandwidth imbalance in future high-performance computing (HPC) systems. We explore the application of an optoelectronic interconnect for the design of flexible, hig...

Traditional electrical interconnections for chip-to-chip transmission have been facing several critical challenges for years [1, 2]. First, the continuing scaling down of electronic device brings a lot of problems to conventional metal interconnects -the degradation of the wire performance, the power dissipation, and the signal integrity. Second, for data transmissions between chips, the perfor...

Advances in integrated circuit (IC) fabrication technology, coupled with aggressive design, have led to an exponential growth speed and integration levels. However, improve overall system performance, the communication between on-chip subsystems ICs printed board must increase accordingly. Currently, bus links various applications approach Gbps (gigabits per second) data rates. These include hi...

For the first time, the 4- and 5-port optical routers are designed by using the West First routing algorithm for use in optical network on chip. The use of the WF algorithm has made the designed routers to provide non-blocking routing in photonic network on chip. These routers not only are based on high speed Mach-Zehnder switches(Which have a higher bandwidth and more thermal tolerance than mi...

ZHANG, LIANG LEON. Driver Pre-emphasis Signaling for On-Chip Global Interconnects (Under the direction of Professor Paul D. Franzon). Signaling design for high performance VLSI systems has become an increasingly difficult task due to the delay/noise limitation for on-chip global interconnects. Repeater insertion techniques are widely used to improve the signal bandwidth of interconnect channels...

Microring resonators are an interesting device to build integrated optical interconnects, but their asymmetric loss behavior could limit the scalability of classical optical interconnects. We present new interconnects able to increase scalability with limited complexity.
