Abstract

Optical chip-to-chip interconnects may use microLEDs as light sources. The interconnected chips may be on a same substrate. A pair of endpoint chips may each have associated optical transceiver subsystems, with transceiver circuitry in transceiver chips. Optical communications may be provided between the optical transceiver subsystems, with the optical transceiver subsystems in communication with their associated endpoint chips by way of metal layers in the substrate.
