Abstract
Integrated circuits (ICs) and optoelectronic chips are the foundation stones of the modern information society. The IC industry has been driven by the so-called “Moore’s law” in the past 60 years, and now has entered the post Moore’s law era. In this paper, we review the recent progress of ICs and optoelectronic chips. The research status, technical challenges and development trend of devices, chips and integrated technologies of typical IC and optoelectronic chips are focused on. The main contents include the development law of IC and optoelectronic chip technology, the IC design and processing technology, emerging memory and chip architecture, brain-like chip structure and its mechanism, heterogeneous integration, quantum chip technology, silicon photonics chip technology, integrated microwave photonic chip, and optoelectronic hybrid integrated chip.
