Abstract
The lengths beyond which board-level optical waveguides
are capable of transferring a larger number of bits per second
than electrical interconnects are found for various technology generations.
As technology scales from the 130-nm technology node
to the 45-nm technology node, the partition length falls from 29 to
8.3 cm due to seven times larger driver-switching frequency and
40% finer waveguide pitches.
