What do you get when you place a photodiode under the buried oxide of a FDSOI transistor? A transistor that is very sensitive to visible light! The transistor, developed and tested in laboratory conditions, was presented by Leti at the IEDM 2016 conference, where it garnered substantial interest. Because energy is transferred by capacitive coupling, […] >>

Long space missions present such a high risk of bacterial infection that astronauts spend 10% of their time cleaning! One of the objectives of the ISS Proxima mission (in which ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet is participating) is to study five advanced antibacterial materials on board. Because the bacteria cannot adhere to the materials, they simply […] >>

FinFET and FD-SOI are currently neck-and-neck in the race to further miniaturize CMOS circuits beyond the 28 nm node. And major market players will play a key role in determining which technology wins. Leti, which has been betting on FD-SOI for years now, recently joined the 22FDXAccelerator ecosystem created by GlobalFoundries, the world’s second-largest foundry. […] >>

UroMems, a startup founded in 2011 and housed at the BHT, has just completed a very impressive round of fundraising, bringing in €14 million in fresh capital. The company’s product—an artificial urinary sphincter implant that can be placed near the urethra—is a breakthrough innovation that could potentially help the 50 million people worldwide currently suffering […] >>

The 5th High Level Forum (HLF) was held in Grenoble this fall. The event was attended by representatives of the world’s main science and technology ecosystems, who came together to discuss the latest advances in innovation. For the first time ever, a report was published recapping the event. The magazine-style document is available on the […] >>
