Path to a new era of microelectronics

New manufacturing process will enable photonic communication in consumer
devices

Researchers from Boston University, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, the University of California Berkeley and University of
Colorado Boulder have developed a method to fabricate silicon chips that
can communicate with light and are no more expensive than current chip
technology. The result is the culmination of a several-year-long project
funded by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency that was a close
collaboration between teams led by Associate Professor Vladimir
Stojanovic of UC Berkeley, Professor Rajeev Ram of MIT, and Assistant
Professor Milos Popovic from Boston University and previously CU
Boulder. They collaborated with a semiconductor manufacturing research
team at the Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the
State University of New York at Albany.

"Instead of a single wire carrying 10 to 100 gigabits per second, you
can have a single optical fiber carrying 10 to 20 terabits per second --
so about a thousand times more in the same footprint," says Popovic.
