Summary:Optoelectronic-VLSI (OE-VLSI) technology represents the intimate
integration of photonic devices with silicon VLSI electronics. We review
the motivations and status of emerging OE-VLSI technologies and examine
the performance of OE-VLSI technology versus conventional wire-bonded OE
packaging. The results suggest that OE-VLSI integration offers
substantial power and speed improvements even when relatively small
numbers of photonic devices are driven with commodity complementary
metal-oxide-semiconductor logic technologies
