Background:

The post-Moore era demands compact, powerful, low-power computing systems.
Monolithic optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs) fabricated from a single material are crucial for this advancement.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore its potential for next-generation computing.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of a PIC comprising photovoltaic cascading detectors, Au-strip waveguides, and electrically driven surface plasmon polariton (SPP) sources.
Utilizing a CMOS-compatible, doping-free technique for CNT fabrication at deep-subwavelength scales (~λ/7 to λ/95).
Demonstrating chip-scale throughput with a 20 × 20 PIC array on a 10 mm × 10 mm wafer.

Main Results:

Successful fabrication of a monolithic PIC from CNTs.
Achieved deep-subwavelength feature sizes compatible with advanced semiconductor manufacturing.
Demonstrated chip-scale integration and potential for data transport repeaters via photovoltaic operation.
Validated chip-scale throughput capability with a 20 × 20 array.

Conclusions:

Monolithic integration of photonics and electronics beyond the diffraction limit is achievable.
This work opens a new era of nanoscale electronic-photonic systems.
Paves the way for faster, smaller, and cheaper computing frameworks.
