Abstract

The objective of this thesis is to develop the necessary techniques and knowledge to adapt ultra-wideband interconnection technology, thereby creating a platform for chip integration and interconnection capable of operating at frequencies of at least 100 GHz. Upon completion of the project, the following will be demonstrated:

  • Commercial Viability: A significant portion of the project’s effort will be directed towards engaging key stakeholders within the semiconductor industry during the design phase, evaluating results (including gauging interest based on the outcomes obtained), and identifying a viable business proposal plan.
  • Technological Feasibility: This will be achieved through the design, fabrication, and characterization of demonstrators that experimentally validate competitive performance compared to any existing potential technology. This validation will focus on parameters such as bandwidth (with a minimum target of 100 GHz) and efficiency (with a maximum insertion loss of 3 dB per connection). Additionally, the maximum achievable channel capacity will be investigated, allowing an assessment of performance in terms of energy efficiency per transmitted bit.
