Leti researchers Olivier Faynot and Claire Fenouillet-Béranger, along with two engineers from STMicroelectronics, won the 2012 Général Ferrié research in electronics award for their 15 years of work on FD-SOI. Their work has led to the development of a smartphone “super chip” at ST-Ericsson that slashes processing times by up to 35% while lengthening battery […] >>

The good news just keeps coming for Prestodiag, a start-up founded in 2012 to develop advanced INAC-ISB bacteria-detection technology. In the space of just a few months, Prestodiag won three awards for innovative start-ups, including one from the Génopôle Evry biotech cluster and one in the French Senate’s entrepreneurship competition. Prestodiag’s fast-detection method is truly […] >>

Under the French National Research Agency (ANR) Aptitude program, which kicked-off in January 2013, Leti plans to develop artefact-free 3D reconstruction methods for atom probe tomography. The research will lay the groundwork for the future 14 nm technology node and its new FINFET architectures and FD-SOI transistors. Scientists will need new characterization tools if they […] >>

CEA Tech, the CEA’s Technology Research Division, will open sites in three cities in western France—Toulouse, Bordeaux, and Nantes—in early 2013. Initially, between six and eight people will staff each site to help local businesses enhance their existing products and services through innovation. CEA Tech’s support will involve joint R&D agreements whereby the businesses can […] >>

The Leti Annual Review—a two-day conference where Leti researchers present their latest findings—will become the four-day Leti Innovation Days starting in 2013. This change will enable the conference to address even more technology- and innovation-related topics and delve into them in greater detail. The first Leti Innovation Days will be held at MINATEC on June […] >>
