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 […] >>

KaïronKem, which specializes in custom synthesis, now sells a line of purely organic dyes (orange, red, and purple) developed by INAC. These metal-free dyes are the result of research INAC has been conducting since 2009. The dyes’ conversion yields still top out at 6%, but thanks to their high absorption they can cut the amount […] >>

The Clinatec R&D center has completed the major renovation work necessary to bring its facilities into compliance. The revamped center is now fully operational with a team of 90 researchers. And the center recently scored a big win with successful toxicology testing on Protool, a surgical instrument that can capture tissue (healthy or cancerous) for […] >>

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 […] >>

Construction work is on track for the new nanosafety building on the CEA campus in Grenoble. The 6,000 m2, low-energy-consumption-certified building is scheduled to open in the first half of 2013. Some 150 nano-experts will work in the new building, including Liten researchers, trainers from the French National Institute of Nuclear Science (INSTN), medical testing […] >>
