摘要

光电融合芯片是集成光子技术与集成电路深度融合的产物，代表后摩尔时代信息产业的重要技术方向。文章系统阐述了光电融合芯片的基本概念，强调其从“分离”到“融合”的本质特征，不仅体现在物理制备层面的集成，更包括信息处理层面的融合。通过梳理相关概念与术语体系，并借鉴集成电路的技术演进经验，文章展望了光电融合芯片的未来发展，特别是其设计发展趋势，以期为该领域的研究与产业化提供清晰的概念框架和发展路径参考。

Abstract

Electronic-photonic heterogeneously-converging integrated circuits

the deep convergence of photonic integration technology and integrated circuits

represent a pivotal technological direction for the information industry in the post-Moore's law era. This paper systematically elaborates on the fundamental concepts of electronic-photonic heterogeneously-converging integrated circuits

emphasizing their essential characteristic of transitioning from a “segregated” to a “converging” paradigm. This shift is manifested not only in physical integration at the fabrication level but

more profoundly

in convergence at the information processing level. By clarifying the relevant conceptual and terminological framework

and by drawing on the technology evolution experience of integrated circuits

this paper envisions the future development of electronic-photonic heterogeneously-converging integrated circuits

particularly the design development trends. It aims to provide a clear conceptual framework and developmental pathway reference for research and industrialization in this field.
