This paper reviews the concept of optically injected logic circuits and investigates their implementation in nanometer CMOS technologies. Optically injected circuits are powered via an optical beam, i.e. they do not require a local power supply and distribution network. A complete set of digital cells has been designed and simulated, and key building blocks of the logic family have been fabricated and tested in a standard 180 nm CMOS technology. The paper also discusses the design and implementation of optically injected circuits for clock distribution, input/output, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion. All these circuits are immediately applicable in wireless biomedical implants or contactless smart cards. They can also be used in other systems-on-chip (SoC), in which very low power operation can be replaced by remote-powered operation.
