Abstract
We review the potential benefits and challenges for achieving optical-interconnects to the chip via the native integration of silicon photonics components with VLSI electronics; and review the “macrochip” – a collection of contiguous silicon chips enabled by optical proximity communication. We summarize recent progress towards achieving low-power photonic links for the macrochip.
