Inhalt:
Monolithic integration of photonics and electronics is key to chip-to-chip optical interconnects. However, high-yield CMOS nodes impose strict constraints on materials and design rules. We review high-responsivity photodiodes and low-voltage modulators for 12.5Gbaud links in an unmodified 45nm CMOS node.
