ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor on fiber optic substrate is composed of a thin layer of electronic grade semiconductor material which is bonded to a substrate which is a fiber optic plate. The fiber optic plate acts as a continuous sheet of optical waveguides to transport light between semiconductor layers with high efficiency and with little defocusing. Integrated circuits are constructed on the semiconductor layer. Chips of this combination can then be stacked and optically interconnected via the optical fibers compromising the fiber optic plate using light emitting and light receiving devices mounted on said semiconductor layers.
