Abstract :
Hybrid integration of optoelectronic devices, such as GaAs MQW modulators, to CMOS VLSI circuits provides the opportunity to design ICs that integrate millions of transistors and thousands of high-speed optical I/Os for high-performance computing and switching applications. One of the challenges in designing such large-scale ICs lies in the development of an efficient method for integrating existing VLSI circuit layouts with two-dimensional arrays of optoelectronic devices. This paper presents several such methods and describes their application
