Leti components used in LHC experiment at CERN

  • News
  • Research
Not many organizations can say they work for CERN! Well, Leti can! On November 10, 2014, the beam at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider was equipped with silicon microcoolers made in Leti cleanrooms. The microcoolers disperse heat from detectors bombarded by particles. The project was not without some serious technical challenges, like carving out 200-micron-deep pools […] >>

Go easy on the ToF-SIMS for organic materials

  • News
  • Research
Organic materials are damaged by ToF-SIMS spectrometry, due to the high impact energy they are subjected to during exposure to the pulsed beam of ions. The Nanocharacterization Platform has a new piece of equipment that will eliminate this concern. The lab’s new ToF-SIMS spectrometer with argon gas cluster ion beams creates impact energy of just […] >>

Electrical current circulates in silicon nanonets

  • Education
  • News
  • Research
Many scientists said it wasn’t possible, but PhD research supervised by LTM and LMGP recently proved the naysayers wrong, demonstrating that electrical current does, in fact, flow through silicon nanonets, unorganized networks of silicon nanowires. The research also looked at a reproducible process for making the nanonets and hybridizing them with strands of DNA. A […] >>
