LMGP’s David Muñoz-Rojas co-edited and is one of the authors featured in Materials for Sustainable Energy Applications, published in September by Taylor & Francis Group. The book includes contributions from researchers (from France, Turkey, Australia, the United States and other countries) active in the field and recognized by the scientific community. The chapter on solar […] >>

CIME Nanotech recently commissioned an ion-beam milling machine (from scia Systems GmbH) in its clean room. The €500,000 machine was financed in part (50%) by IRT Nanoelec. It will be used for both training and R&D. It has a Hidden spectrometer to track, monitor, and identify the material being etched in multilayer samples. The ion […] >>

The joint lab between Iprasense and Leti has designed a new product, Cytonote Counter. This lensless digital microscope can observe a very large field (30 mm2) and measure cell viability with unrivalled reproducibility and precision. The markerless cell-viability measurement is based on a detailed analysis of the interference figures obtained. This means that marking with […] >>

Leti is extending its 3D integration roadmap with its CoolCube® technology developed in conjunction with several industrial R&D partners including IBM and STMicroelectronics. The technology attains 10 million 3D contacts per mm2, a huge increase over the 100,000 contacts delivered by traditional solutions. With CoolCube®, FDSOI transistors are stacked and interconnected with pattern alignment accurate […] >>

Resistive memory (ReRAM) is a thousand times faster than flash memory and will likely replace flash in coming years. Leti is already working on ReRAM with industrial R&D partners, and has designed a tool to improve memory performance that calculates the main ReRAM design constraints (some of which are in conflict with others). The calculator […] >>
