Aledia, a start-up spun off from Leti, has just crossed two important milestones. First, it has finished making its first series of LEDs on 200 mm silicon wafers—a breakthrough process that cuts LED production costs by a factor of four relative to conventional methods. And second, the young firm has raised €10 million of fresh […] >>

MEIS, or medium-energy ion scattering, off ers very-high-resolution chemical and structural surface analysis capabilities. The technique works by analyzing the energy and angle of backscattered ions, and is frequently used for fl at layers. A team of researchers from INAC and Leti recently came up with an innovation when they used MEIS to study the […] >>

This year’s event will be held on the MINATEC campus on June 10–12, 2013. Some 150 up-and-coming researchers from industry and academia […] >>

The Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) Summit—to be held at CEA-Grenoble on February 7, 2013—aims to spur crucial programs to get Europe back to economic growth and competitiveness, and to get politicians on board. The summit is being co-sponsored by French Minister of Higher Education and Research Geneviève Fioraso and French Minister of Industrial Renewal Arnaud […] >>

A European Research Council program on single dopant detection by holography has given the Titan Ultimate transmission microscope yet another chance to prove its worth. The microscope, installed at PFNC in October 2011, delivers resolutions of 50 picometers, allowing researchers to see things they never could before. They can now use new techniques like chemical […] >>
