  • Abstract
    A DORGA architecture has been proposed to increase gate density. It uses the junction capacitance of photo-diodes as dynamic memory, thereby obviating the static configuration memory. This paper presents the worldpsilas largest 11,424 gate-count dynamic optically reconfigurable gate array (DORGA) VLSI fabricated on a 96.04 mm2 chip using a 0.35 mum three-metal CMOS process technology and a perfect optical system using a holographic memory. The advantages of this architecture are discussed in relation to the results described herein.
