Abstract:To allow fast communication-at several Gb/s-of multimedia content among processors and memories in a multi-processor system-on-chip, a new approach is emerging in literature: Wireless Network-on-Chip (WiNoC). With reference to this scenario, this paper presents the design of the key element of the WiNoC: the antenna. Specifically, a bow-tie antenna is proposed, which operates at mm-waves and can be implemented on-chip using the top metal layer of a conventional silicon CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technology. The antenna performance is discussed in the paper and is compared to the state-of-the-art, including the zig-zag antenna topology that is typically used in literature as a reference for WiNoC. The proposed bow-tie antenna design for WiNoC stands out for its good trade-off among bandwidth, gain, size and beamwidth vs. the state-of-the-art.

Abstract-We present a new technique of injecting clocks optically onto CMOS chips without the use of a receiver amplifier. We discuss the benefits of such a direct approach and present proof-ofprinciple experiments of the technique. We analytically compare a receiver-less optical clock distribution and an electrical clock distribution in a fan-out-of-four clock tree to evaluate the timing and power benefits of the optical approach for present microprocessors. We also compare receiver-less direct injection of optical clocks to trans-impedance receiver based injection within the same distribution framework.
