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.
