Sub-1 nm wireless local interconnect and photonic millimeter wave ULSI with the optoelectronic microwave CMOS technology: Will the cutoff frequency and clock speed races resume?

摘要

Traditionally, CMOS is not considered a light emitting device. Similar to laser or LED, and microwave devices, Photonic Millimeter Wave CMOS transistors are both light as well as microwave emitting devices. Ever since AMD releases the 64-bits Athlon processor in around 2005–2006, the clock speed race for ASIC and processors has been stopped. Wireless tools always replace wired electronic tools. The very large number (trillions) and multiple layers of metal wires seen in ASICs and ULSI significantly slow down the processors. Using microwave photonic CMOS and wireless ULSI, clock speed races may resume, reaching far beyond 6G wireless generations.
