In a new book called Des Hommes et des Ions (“Of Ions and Men”), French journalist Isabelle Doucet tells the story of how Leti researchers—including Michel Bruel, Alain Soubie, and Jean-François Michaud—studied and revolutionized microelectronics R&D with their work on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology. The book is subtitled Chroniques d’une Aventure Humaine (“Chronicles of a Human […] >>

Germanium-Antimony-Tellurium, or GST, is a phase-change material that passes from an amorphous to a crystalline state at temperatures of 100°C to 150°C, making it a good candidate for phase-change memory. However, when looking at GST samples under a transmission microscope, scientists observed that these properties actually turn into a disadvantage. During the ion-beam preparation phase, […] >>
