Innovative Optical and Electronic Interconnect Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing research

摘要

An overview of the £1.3 million EPSRC and company matched funded Innovative electronics Manufacturing Research Centre (IeMRC) Flagship project between 3 UK universities and 10 companies entitled “Integrated Optical and Electronic Interconnect PCB Manufacturing”. The project aims to develop of optical waveguide design rules, layout software, fabrication methods compatible with commercial production, characterisation techniques and optical connector design to provide a supply chain for Polymer Multimode Optical Waveguide Printed Circuit Boards (OPCB) for 10 Gb/s board-to-board interconnections.
