Leti’s annual gathering will be held at MINATEC on June 25–28—with one big novelty: this will be the first year of the new format, beefed up considerably relative to the Leti Annual Review. This first edition of the Leti Innovation Days will include a full program of talks and workshops on technical topics. The central […] >>

The first 14 nm microelectronic circuits won’t be produced on a large scale until 2015 or 2016—but now is when engineers need to decide which technologies they want to use. That’s why Leti has just put together a 14 nm design kit for one of its flagship technologies: fully-depleted silicon on insulator (FDSOI). The kit […] >>

You’ve probably heard of people being equipped with sensors, like athletes who want to study their body movements or the elderly who receive remote care. But figuring out how the electromagnetic waves propagate isn’t easy, since the human body itself is an obstacle that can interfere with waves’ behavior. This is a major challenge in […] >>

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 […] >>

CEA Tech’s regional branches in Nantes, Bordeaux, and Toulouse have been working hard since early January to build ties with the academic and business communities in their regions. All three regional branches quickly found office space. The branches are headed by Xavier Apolinarski (LIST), Serge Rimlinger (Liten), and Nicolas Sillon (Leti). More than 80 CEA […] >>
