Leti has developed a compact antenna (with a radius of just 5 cm at 868 MHz) that can selectively read RFID tags just a few centimeters away from each other. A demonstration of the antenna—retrofitted to a commercially-available portable RFID reader—was completed at the end of the French National Research Agency project Socrate. During the […] >>

Leti’s 12 Mb germanium-antimony-tellurium phase-change memory—which could be used in tomorrow’s embedded applications—recently produced record results for performance at high temperatures, a crucial step forward in the march toward automotive applications. And major advances in simulation are providing insights into why the memory is so reliable. Leti is also working with STMicroelectronics to improve the […] >>
