ABSTRACT:
A geometrically integrated microcircuit comprises a plurality of isosceles or equilateral truncated triangular (e.g., trapezoidal or hexagonal) integrated circuit chips or circuit boards arranged along the internal planes of a geometrical solid, such as a cube or cuboctahedron, to form a crystallike cell. The chips have beveled interfacing edge faces which include metal dowels, such as frozen mercury, providing both mechanical and electrical interconnections between the chips. The chips have opposed truncated edge faces including optical transceivers for transmitting and receiving signals along a line of sight between remote, coplanar chips across a central opening in each cell. Multiple such cells can be stacked in a regular three-dimensional array with the edge faces of the chips in adjoining cells aligned and interconnected along their length. Additional transceivers in other truncated edges of the chips are connected via optical fibers to external input/output devices or to other cells.
