Wireless technology could soon replace the cumbersome cables in airplanes’ safety systems and in cars’ ABS and anti-skid systems thanks to a Leti innovation: a miniature 2-cm antenna for 868 MHz UHF frequencies. Leti researchers are now looking at how this antenna can be used for signal propagation in cars and airplanes. The researchers developed […] >>

Phase-change memory is a type of fast, cheap, and non-volatile memory whose only drawback is its high programming current requirement, which limits miniaturization potential and maximum density. However, Leti researchers have obtained promising results from a new “confined structure” phase-change memory architecture that allows for 50 nm chips—substantially smaller than the 300 nm currently available […] >>

Leti now offers partner businesses and universities an expansive library of 3D test patterns, built from the laboratory’s years of research on 3D stacking technology. The library can be used to test the performance of various interconnections and check compliance with specifications—from the very outset. The patterns can be used to test through-silicon vias (TSVs), […] >>

Launched just before the summer holidays, a new website called “38 de Sciences” (sfp.grenoble.cnrs.fr)—set up jointly by the French Physics Society, Fondation Nanosciences, and Institut Néel’s IT department—gives Grenoble-area researchers a one-stop shop for information about upcoming seminars, conferences, thesis defenses, and other research-related events. For now the information is given in French only and […] >>

Phelma is counting on you to submit your ideas for student research projects and lab experiments! First-year students will complete their group projects during the second semester. Regardless of the field—physics, electronics, electrochemistry, robotics, or another science or technology—the projects will give students an opportunity to learn how to work as a team. The potential […] >>
