The indicators used to diagnose sleep apnea—heart and respiratory rates, stress, blood oxygen level—can now be measured at home with a simple wristband. Leti showcased the innovative device at CES 2018 and is working with manufacturing partners to get the product out to medical professionals. The complete solution includes the wristband (with optical and electrical […] >>

Researchers at INAC doped sheets of graphene with nitrogen in an ECR-CVD reactor,* obtaining a record atomic concentration of 17% nitrogen. The graphene sheets were then used to make a button-battery-format ultracapacitor. The ultracapacitor offers state-of-the-art power and energy levels, is very stable, and can power a LED for seven minutes on just a twenty-second […] >>

Tin-oxide-doped indium oxide (ITO) is an excellent material for the transparent electrodes used in smartphone displays, OLED lighting, and other products. However, the material’s scarcity and high cost are problematic. Researchers at Leti are looking for an alternative material, and the early results of their investigations show that tin oxide (SnO2) could be a viable […] >>

Spintec recently came up with a new asynchronous MRAM circuit structure that is more robust in space environments. Generally, the risk of errors induced by ionizing particles is managed by tripling the chains of functional blocks and by using a “majority vote” of the three results of the three identical circuits. Spintec has brought the […] >>

Following the excellent results obtained in 2017 on CMOS 300 mm qubits, INAC and Leti continue to push the envelope in research conducted under a new European project coordinated by the CEA, MOS-QUITO.* The challenge is now to improve the CMOS qubit by using two electrons placed in two opposite corners of a square-profiled nanowire.
