ABSTRACT

The world's largest 11,424 gate-count dynamic optically reconfigurable gate array VLSI chip, which is based on the use of junction capacitance of photodiodes as configuration memory, has been fabricated. The size and process of the VLSI chip are, respectively, a 96.04 mm2 and a 0.35 μm-3 metal CMOS process technology. To clarify the availability of the VLSI, this paper shows an experimental result of a long retention time of its photodiode memory architecture.
