Merging materials key to SoC optical success
The answer is always easy in CMOS: You shrink the die, you integrate it with neighboring shrunken die. Shrink, integrate, repeat. The end game is the so-called system-on-chip (SoC), where all the circuitry of a system is produced on a single die, minus fudge-factor FPGAs and discretes, of course. And they all lived happily ever after.
