Optical Solution Addresses Interconnect Bottleneck on Silicon Chips

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A combination light emitter and detector device that is compatible with silicon could help mitigate communications delays resulting from signal leakage between microchip components. The device is made from molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2), an ultrathin semiconductor that belongs to an emerging group of materials known as 2D transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Researchers have designed a light-emitter and detector that can be integrated into silicon CMOS chips. This illustration shows a molybdenum ditelluride light source for silicon photonics.

    optoelectronics
    Optoelectronics is a branch of electronics that focuses on the study and application of devices and systems that use light and its interactions with different materials. The term "optoelectronics" is a combination of "optics" and "electronics," reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of this field. Optoelectronic devices convert electrical signals into optical signals or vice versa, making them crucial in various technologies. Some key components and applications of optoelectronics include: ...
