Researchers at the nano characterization platform (PFNC) have coupled X-ray diffraction and X-ray diffusion to observe a chalcogenide thin layer during annealing. Their goal was to gain a deeper understanding of what happens to the morphology and structure of PCRAM materials when they transition from an amorphous state to a crystalline state. The X-ray diffraction […] >>

Magnetic objects of the same composition but with different geometries demonstrate different magnetization reversal behavior. Researchers at INAC have discovered that the shape and direction of the wires (in systems made of aluminum oxide and cobalt wires and platinum) determined the spatial distribution of spin-orbit coupling in the object, and therefore the angular momentum required […] >>

Any visitor touring the cleanrooms in building 41.01 would have a hard time believing that the building was ravaged by fire less than a year ago. The fire-damaged area of the building reopened in December after four and a half months of repairs and the installation of new equipment to replace equipment damaged in the […] >>

Leti is setting a new state of the art in silicon photonics link speeds. According to a dissertation on the topic defended in October by a Leti PhD candidate, the link speeds could reach up to 10 or even 15 Gbps in the coming years with subpicojoule- per-bit power. Specifically, the research focused on rapid […] >>

Neireid, a Horizon 2020 project, kicked off on November 16, 2015, under the watchful eye of Francis Balestra (IMEP-LAHC). The project will establish Europe’s nanoelectronics roadmap to 2025 and beyond. Europe no longer wants to simply follow the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS), which is global in scope and whose focus is limited to […] >>
