Researchers at INAC and Leti recently developed a quantum simulation code that is providing groundbreaking insights into the physics of advanced FD-SOI and Tri-gate transistors. What makes the researchers’ work so significant is that semi-traditional simulation models do not factor in the quantum effects that play an increasing role as transistor sizes trend towards the […] >>

A five-person film crew spent a day in Leti’s clean rooms in October making a video on how block copolymers—compounds developed by Arkema—are used in a new nanolithography process. The video was commissioned by Arkema, which also runs a joint laboratory with Leti. It is part of a series of eight-minute videos (available on YouTube) […] >>

On January 23, CEA-Grenoble will hold the third annual “You Too Can Be a Scientist!” day to introduce high school juniors and seniors to careers in science. The event, part of a nationwide program, will include three-minute one-on-one elevator pitches by fifteen research professionals (engineers, scientists, technicians, and Ph.D. students). During these pitches—which were highly […] >>

Fluoptics raised €2 million from business angels in September, which it will use to market its Fluobeam® system for several clinical applications in the United States, Asia, and Europe. The Fluobeam® fluorescence imaging system already has the CE marking for medical devices and should get FDA approval in early 2014; approval is pending in several […] >>
