News : MINATEC

The Inria-Nano-D team developing the Samson generic nanosystems design software package, which has been working out of MINATEC for more than a year now, has a number of new wins to report. In March the team secured a European Research Council Proof of Concept grant to assess the software’s market potential, and recently released version […] >>

In the coming years, non-chemically-amplified resins could be used in 300 mm lithography processes to create circuit patterns with more accurate control of dimensions and lower edge roughness. The members of the industrial R&D project Imagine, which include Leti, recently validated the process on industrial-grade equipment for the first time ever. A preliminary evaluation of […] >>

Rapidly assessing the technological potential of 2D materials requires—for certain crucial measurements—a synchrotron beamline. Researchers on the CEA Cascade* project decided to find a workaround that would eliminate the need for difficult-to-access synchrotron resources. They combined two analysis methods available at the Nanocharacterization Platform: micro-photoluminescence and photoemission microscopy in reciprocal space. The results on measurements […] >>

A team of researchers from Leti along with three of Leti’s international partners* have finally shed new light on the discrepancy of up to two orders of magnitude between the theoretical detection limits of nanoresonators and the resonators’ actual performance. Until now, it was believed that the tiniest mass or force that could be detected […] >>

The agreement signed by Leti and GlobalFoundries, the world’s second-largest foundry, in 2015 is now in the implementation phase. The agreement is for 22 nm FD-SOI, a high-potential technology for IoT applications due to its excellent balance between performance, cost, and miniaturization. GlobalFoundries has started up production at its Dresden, Germany plant for sampling purposes. […] >>
