Docea Power’s decision to set up a joint lab with Leti turned out to be a smart one! Three years into the collaboration, the company has validated modelling capabilities for the heat performance of 2D and 3D multicore circuits and applied them to two real-life cases. The margin of error is less than 5%, a […] >>

Today’s mobile devices boast increasingly-miniaturized antennas. But tiny antennas are plagued by losses—detrimental to performance. In an effort to solve the problem, researchers from Leti and IETR recently devoted two Ph.D. dissertations to lanthanum titanate, a new perovskite oxide known for its high permittivity. And the results are promising. Antennas made using the material offer […] >>

Researchers at INAC and Leti recently developed a quantum simulation code that is providing groundbreaking insights into the physics of advanced FD-SOI and Tri-gate transistors. What makes the researchers’ work so significant is that semi-traditional simulation models do not factor in the quantum effects that play an increasing role as transistor sizes trend towards the […] >>

A five-person film crew spent a day in Leti’s clean rooms in October making a video on how block copolymers—compounds developed by Arkema—are used in a new nanolithography process. The video was commissioned by Arkema, which also runs a joint laboratory with Leti. It is part of a series of eight-minute videos (available on YouTube) […] >>

On January 23, CEA-Grenoble will hold the third annual “You Too Can Be a Scientist!” day to introduce high school juniors and seniors to careers in science. The event, part of a nationwide program, will include three-minute one-on-one elevator pitches by fifteen research professionals (engineers, scientists, technicians, and Ph.D. students). During these pitches—which were highly […] >>
