Abstract
A silicon semi-conductor substrate includes a plurality of sequential devices therein, each sequential device requiring supply of clock pulses thereto at a selected system clock frequency. An infrared laser is disposed to expose the substrate to light pulses occurring at the system clock frequency. A plurality of photosensitive structures are distributed throughout the substrate such that each structure causes a respective sequential element to capture or latch data in response to the detection of the laser light pulses.
