Abstract

Quantum photonic computing may extend Moore's Law beyond sub-1nm CMOS technology nodes. There are additional performance advantages with Millimeter wave processors. Unlike lights, short wavelength microwaves are not so easily blocked by features in the integrated circuit, due to diffraction. 3D or more dimensional microwave communications between photonic microwave CMOS transistors can be achieved even without waveguides. In this paper, we will present techniques for novel photonic waveguides, which not only improve the photon transmission efficiency, but also increase the photonic CMOS switching speed. Photonic SRAMs are fabricated with local interconnected optical waveguides. Significant SRAM speed improvement can be accomplished. Similar to Phase Shift Masks, nonlinear holographic interference produces better optical signals. Optoelectronic Microwave Tunnel-Junction CMOS, Optoelectronic IMPATT CMOS, Photonic BARITT CMOS, and Transferred electron Gunn Microwave CMOS will be illustrated with photon-accelerated avalanche breakdown and frequency responses.
