Abstract

An optical through silicon via is formed in a silicon substrate of an integrated circuit. A photo detector is formed within the integrated circuit and is optically coupled to a first side of the optical through silicon via. A light generating source optically coupled to a second side of the optical through silicon via is provided. The photo detector is configured to receive a light, generated by the light generating source, propagating through the optical through silicon via. The light, generated by the light generating source, is controlled by a signal generated by a signal generating source.
