The Embedded Systems Design Platform—created by Saclay-based List and Grenoble-based Leti—ended 2013 with a remarkable achievement. Its engineers developed a revolutionary new system design approach that enabled high-tech firm M3Systems to double the performance of one of its systems, while optimizing its size and power consumption. The new approach uses a high-level virtual prototyping environment […] >>

The old 200 mm clean room in the 41.02 Building (near the H3 cafeteria) is getting a €5.3 million makeover. The space will be renovated and expanded to create a new 300 mm clean room spanning 500 m2. Twenty high-tech machines were moved out of the building this summer and the old 200 mm clean […] >>

Now Leti researchers can test wireless connections without having to perform costly and time-consuming on-site tests. Leti (via the IRT NanoElec research institute) has recently acquired a wireless channel emulator—the first of its kind in France. It lets engineers easily test the effects of electromagnetic environments (like multipath channels) and electromagnetic disruptors on the performance […] >>

CIME Nanotech recently acquired a new lithography machine that performs two innovative processes. The first, nano-printing with control of the pressing and separation stage via an actuator matrix, reduces the number of defects compared to manual pressing and separation. The second process enables resin-free lithography using plasma situated between the substrate and mask, making it […] >>

Researchers from Leti, Ecole des Mines de Saint Etienne, and Gemalto recently produced a smartcard pushbutton on a flexible material (PET) using inkjet printing. The technique differs from screen printing in that it does not require the use of masks. The researchers presented their results at the 2013 IEEE Holm Conference, where Daniele Sette, Ph.D. […] >>
