        報告簡介

        近年來，關于集成電路（IC）制造的傳統架構和材料方面的假設受到挑戰，半導體行業則正在尋找新的解決方案。此外，半導體行業的能源和散熱問題使得這一危機更加凸顯。

        其中最重要的問題之一就是所謂的“互連瓶頸”，即On-Chip和Chip-to-Chip都會同時出現的數據流量堵塞趨勢?；ミB瓶頸在摩爾定律完全失去動力的很久以前就已經出現，它現在是以不同的形式重新出現在為使芯片封裝更容易的新的架構中。

        “明顯的”解決方案是采用光學這一解決帶寬問題常用的方式。但是針對On-Chip和Chip-to-Chip互連的光學解決方案在商用產品的開發方面比較困難。生產能被用在芯片層級的足夠小和低廉的光子器件是一個很大的難題。

        在這份報告中，CIR分析了光互連在芯片層級的最新發展以及世界各地的重要研究小組在這個領域取得的進展。報告同時討論了研發和商用方面的進展。該報告從傳統CPU芯片以及最新架構的角度來看待這個問題，同時還分析了相對于金屬互連和未來可能出現的其它比光子更奇特的替代解決方案（尤其是碳納米管）而言，光互連所存在的發展機遇。

        報告里面還包括了未來十年的演進路線圖。該路線圖展示了芯片層級光互連商業機會的出現時機、應用領域及其市場規模。CIR還分析了領導廠商及其在設計和實施On-Chip & Chip-to-Chip光互連方面的研究工作。
