Abstract:
A method for optical interconnection between semiconductor chips according to an embodiment include converting an electrical signal to an optical signal, transmitting the optical signal to a second substrate disposed above or below a first substrate using an optical transmitter provided on the first substrate, receiving the optical signal using an optical detector provided on the second substrate, and converting the received optical signal to an electrical signal. Accordingly, using a mid-infrared wavelength range of light that is transparent to semiconductor materials such as silicon and next-generation high-mobility materials, it is possible to enable interconnection between stacked semiconductor chips without using metal wiring. Using optical interconnection, it is possible to significantly reduce the bandwidth and power consumption, and overcome the limitations of TSV technology, and it is possible to extend the photonics technology and platform established in the existing Si Photonics, thereby reducing the cost required for design.

Claim (Index 6):
The method for optical interconnection between semiconductor chips according to  claim 4 , wherein the optical transmitter and the optical detector include a laser and a photo-sensor capable of transmitting and receiving mid-infrared of a wavelength range between 1.7 \u03bcm and 6 \u03bcm.
