Like electrical networks, optical telecommunications networks must be reconfigurable so that the signal can be routed to meet the needs of subscribers. Researchers at Leti developed an optical signal routing node with an unrivalled level of integration. The prototype developed counts 800 active optical components fabricated on a SOI substrate to form an array of […] >>

The limits of conventional electronic systems will soon be reached, and scientists are on the lookout for new solutions, one of which would entail using spin waves to create logic architectures that are more efficient than today’s CMOS systems. But to work, the spin waves have to be unidirectional, which is a challenge! Researchers at […] >>

Sensitive, compact systems capable of reading quantum states will be crucial to industry’s transition to quantum computing. Researchers from INAC and Leti have already demonstrated the world’s first FDSOI qubit (quantum bit) device made on a 300 mm CMOS fab line. Now, they have also shown that low-temperature reflectometry can be used to read a […] >>

The 5G Champion project, in which Leti is participating alongside the Korean Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), will develop a 5G network prototype for the 28 GHz frequency band that will be rolled out during the Pyeongchang Olympics in February 2018, two years before the official launch of 5G. The proof-of-concept prototype will combine […] >>

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) produces much more than just images. The TEM equipment at the CEA nanocharacterization platform (PFNC) provides detailed information on the chemistry of the materials analyzed. And, to make sure that the platform’s equipment stays at the international state of the art, two transmission electron microscopes have been upgraded with advanced analysis […] >>
