  • Abstract
    The optical clock distribution has been considered to alleviate limitations due to metallic interconnections for future generation of VLSI. It can be interesting only if it is able to provide some substantial improvement of IC features. The aim of the work reported is the unambiguous comparison in terms of dissipated power between the optical and electrical clock distribution networks.
