Less than 30 months after Soitec and Applied Materials completed work on their silicon carbide (SiC) pilot line at CEA-Leti’s Substrate Innovation Center in late 2019, Soitec has announced its plans to build a new factory to manufacture the substrate at scale.The successful collaboration between CEA-Leti’s researchers and Soitec’s R&D teams is behind the record […] >>

Leti Innovation Days 2022 will be held in-person after two years online. The now three-day event will take place on June 21, 22, and 23. Around 1,000 attendees are expected, and the program will include a plenary session, six workshops on selected tech topics, and an exhibition highlighting Grenoble’s Silicon Valley, CEA-Leti’s technology demonstrators, and […] >>

Spintec, founded in May 2002 with a team of twelve researchers, is behind many advances in spintronics. The lab helped drive the emergence of MRAM memories and spin-orbitronics and has filed more than 80 patents and spun off four startups, three of which are still in business today (Crocus Technologies, Hprobe, and Antaios). And the […] >>

Hanna Pazniak, an expert in MXenes, joined the LMGP nanomaterials and advanced heterostructures team in early 2022.MXenes, made by exfoliating precursors (MAX phases), are two-dimensional compounds that, depending on their composition, offer a variety of properties, from large specific surface to excellent electrical conductivity and elasticity. They can also be used to make functionalized and […] >>

For the past decade, two teams of researchers at Irig* have been investigating how to destroy tumors by injecting and then vibrating magnetic microparticles with an alternating magnetic field. One obstacle stands in their way: It takes too long to produce the perfectly calibrated disc-shaped microparticles. So, instead they used micrometer-sized grains of ground iron […] >>
