Fortunately, over the past several years, the problems associated with each of the above requirements have been overcome and now integrated opto-chips are now relatively routinely fabricated [2, 3, 5, 63, 64, 271-278, 290-297]. The problem of irregular VLSI surface topology has been overcome by use of planarizing polymers such as Futerrex PC3-6000. The reflow properties of this polymer reduce the 1-6 micron semiconductor circuit features to surface variations of 0.2 microns after planarization. The optical quality of planarized surfac-...

Lateral nanostructures (e.g., Fresnel optics, diffraction gratings, lithography masks, memories/terabit chips, quantum-, molecular-, opto-, vacuum, and nanoelectronics, e.g., diode lasers with pyramid-shaped nanoquantum points, and quantum wires). 

PLL and the DELAY25 chip to a low current differential signal (LCDS) used by the pixel front-end chips. The electronic devices needed in the digital control circuit are mounted on the digital opto-boards. In each sector 44 optical fibers are needed for communication with the front-end modules, 36 for the analog readout and 8 for the digital control.
