Abstract
In a semiconductor device, optical signal transfer capabilities are implemented on the basis of silicon-based monolithic opto-electronic components in combination with an appropriate waveguide. Thus, in complex circuitries, such as microprocessors and the like, superior performance may be obtained in terms of signal propagation delay, while at the same time thermal requirements may be less critical.
