Leti is planning to develop an optical CO2 sensor using all-MEMS technology, including an emitter, detector, and infrared optical system. It will be no bigger than 1 cm3 and require no more than 6 mW of power. This will be the first step towards an even smaller sensor that could be used in cell phones, […] >>

Imaginez le Future (“Imagine the Future”), an interactive conference held by the Minalogic competitive cluster, will take place in Grenoble on July 4, 2013. It will be free of charge and open to researchers and industry professionals. The event will kick off with a presentation on Minalogic’s strategic goals for 2013–2018. This will be followed […] >>

Rohde & Schwarz, a German manufacturer of radiofrequency (RF) test equipment, has teamed up with Leti to develop technology to improve its systems. The goal is to find a way to characterize the RF blocks (like amplifiers, oscillators, and frequency mixers) used in tablets and smartphones under real-world conditions. Existing characterization tools take into account […] >>

For the third year in a row, Grenoble Institute of Technology-Phelma students will take part in iGEM, the global synthetic biology competition held by MIT. The Grenoble team will consist of ten university students: four from Phelma; three from UJF; two from Mines de Saint-Étienne; and one student from the US (Louisiana) doing an internship […] >>

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 […] >>
