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 […] >>

MIT used Leti’s suspended micro-resonators to develop a new microchip for fast drug testing. The chip measures cell culture growth by weighing the culture with accuracy to within a femtogram. The measurement provides an indication of the culture’s response to a drug such as an antibiotic. The results of the research were published in Nature […] >>

Recent advances in research being conducted by Leti and INAC scientists under CEA project A3DN could help overcome one of the major technological hurdles facing microelectronics R&D. So, what does DNA have to do with microelectronics? DNA strings measure around a nanometer—as do the pattern geometries the researchers are working on. And DNA’s base-pairing capacities […] >>
