Germanium-tin could be a winning combination for silicon photonics

  • News
  • Research
Researchers from INAC and Leti obtained a mid-infrared laser emission (2.7 microns to 3.2 microns) at 230 K in a germanium-tin (GeSn) alloy nanostructure. The advance paves the way toward photonic integrated laser sources on silicon chips. Currently, laser sources must be added to circuits one by one. The major challenge was creating a tin-rich […] >>

Leti focuses on embedded artificial intelligence

  • Innovation & Society
  • News
  • Research
Can artificial intelligence be trusted to drive an autonomous vehicle if all of the computing is done in the cloud? Only if there are absolutely no transmission issues, which would delay the real-time decision-making required to operate these vehicles safely. Leti is investigating embedded artificial intelligence (AI embedded in the integrated circuit) as a solution […] >>

Noisy cracks, rough material

  • Industry
  • News
  • Research
The acoustical waves emitted when a crack propagates in a material can change the crack’s trajectory. The waves create alternating smooth and rough textures on the changed surface of the material. The phenomenon was observed during research conducted by INAC, Leti, and Soitec on SOI wafers, which are made by cleaving silicon. Small cavities, like […] >>
