News : Life @ MINATEC

Microoled, located at MINATEC, designs and manufactures high-definition, low-power microdisplays that leverage a technology developed in partnership with CEA-Leti. The rapidly-growing start-up, which is now seven years old, has shipped more than 100,000 displays since 2012. From its inception, Microoled has set its sights on a wide range of consumer and BtoB markets in France […] >>

At the end of September the CEA rolled out an initiative to block any .zip-type folders containing .exe files attached to incoming emails. The senders are automatically alerted that their email didn’t make it past CEA security. The anti-zip measure came in response to an increase in the number of security breaches caused by .exe […] >>

The Nanocharacterization Platform (PFNC) now has two micro Raman instruments for measuring the chemical, mechanical, structural, and electronic properties of thin-layer materials. The measurements, down to the nanometric scale, can be taken with or without prior sample preparation, either locally or by 2D or 3D mapping. The wavelengths available range from near UV to near […] >>

The 41.02 building’s cleanroom, which inaugurated a third extension this summer dedicated to 300 mm microelectronics activities, now offers some 2,200 sq. m of research space. The new 500 sq. m space will house new microelectronics fabrication resources such as deposition and thin-layer etching equipment. CEA-Leti, which is managing the procurement process, hopes to begin […] >>

Julien Claudon, a research scientist at INAC, won the 2014 CNRS Bronze Medal for his nanophotonics research. Claudon studies controlling the interaction between light and matter within nanostructures. The optical antennae Claudon developed under a joint research project involving INAC, the Institut d’Optique, and the Technical University of Denmark have already been proven effective at […] >>
