N2 - To date, we have fabricated 68-gate-count Dynamic Optically Reconfigurable Gate Arrays (DORGAs). Their reconfiguration period has been confirmed as less than 6 ns. As the next step, we have begun development of high-gate-count DORGAs. The new DORGA-VLSI chip can achieve a 26,350-gate count through reduction of the photodiode size, photodiode spacing, and through introduction of a small dynamic optical reconfiguration circuit. This paper presents the new design of that 26,350-gate-count DORGA using a standard 0.35um 3-Metal CMOS process technology. In addition, photodiode characteristics are extracted from experimental results using an estimation chip with similar photodiodes and an identical gate array structure.
