A Step Towards Eliminating The Von-Neumann Bottleneck By Co-locating Photonic Computing Elements And Non-Volatile Memory

A technical paper titled “Non-volatile heterogeneous III-V/Si photonics via optical charge-trap memory” was published by researchers at Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

“We demonstrate, for the first time, non-volatile charge-trap flash memory (CTM) co-located with heterogeneous III-V/Si photonics. The wafer-bonded III-V/Si CTM cell facilitates non-volatile optical functionality for a variety of devices such as Mach-Zehnder Interferometers (MZIs), asymmetric MZI lattice filters, and ring resonator filters,” states the paper.
