Abstract

An overview of the pound1.3 million EPSRC and company matched funded Innovative electronics Manufacturing Research Centre (IeMRC) Flagship project between 3 UK universities and 10 companies entitled ldquointegrated optical and electronic interconnect PCB manufacturingrdquo. The project aims to develop of optical waveguide design rules, layout software, fabrication methods compatible with commercial production, characterisation techniques and optical connector design to provide a supply chain for Polymer Multimode Optical Waveguide Printed Circuit Boards (OPCB) for 10 Gb/s board-to-board interconnections.
