In January, IoT-type sensors were rolled out for testing at Maison MINATEC. The sensors are measuring things like air quality, the use of mobile room partitions, and the number of visitors. Some of the underlying technologies were developed at Leti and being scaled up for manufacturing by companies like eLichens, JYSE, and Adeunis RF. The […] >>

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 […] >>

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 […] >>

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 […] >>

US-based Silvaco, a world-class provider of electronic design automation software, has set up a joint lab with Leti. The three-year lab will focus on the development of electrical behavior models for nanowire CMOS transistors and gallium nitride power transistors. The models developed will be integrated into Silvaco’s software, used to design and simulate circuits built […] >>
