報告簡介
近年來,關(guān)于集成電路(IC)制造的傳統(tǒng)架構(gòu)和材料方面的假設受到挑戰(zhàn),半導體行業(yè)則正在尋找新的解決方案。此外,半導體行業(yè)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(xiàn)的數(shù)據(jù)流量堵塞趨勢。互連瓶頸在摩爾定律完全失去動力的很久以前就已經(jīng)出現(xiàn),它現(xiàn)在是以不同的形式重新出現(xiàn)在為使芯片封裝更容易的新的架構(gòu)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(chǎn)品的開發(fā)方面比較困難。生產(chǎn)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(fā)展以及世界各地的重要研究小組在這個領(lǐng)域取得的進展。報告同時討論了研發(fā)和商用方面的進展。該報告從傳統(tǒng)CPU芯片以及最新架構(gòu)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(xiàn)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(fā)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(yè)機會的出現(xiàn)時機、應用領(lǐng)域及其市場規(guī)模。CIR還分析了領(lǐng)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。
