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 […] >>

A research consortium* that includes scientists from INAC recently produced a deep-UV laser with record-breaking performance. The laser emits at 275 nm at ambient temperature, as opposed to 310 nm cooled to 10 K, making it the best-performing system in the literature to date. The key to this technological advance? Extremely simple optical resonators (micro […] >>

According to a team of researchers from INAC and Leti, tomorrow’s quantum computers could be made from simple SOI CMOS transistors! Quantum computers do not store information as bits, represented by a one or a zero, like traditional computers. They use quantum bits, or qubits, which can represent a superposition of one and zero. And […] >>

Researchers at the Spintec lab recently demonstrated that the spin current that propagates from one ferromagnetic layer to another can be doubled if the second layer has a fluctuating magnetic order. When the researchers heated the second layer to its magnetic phase-change temperature, the spin current was much greater. And there are more ideas where […] >>

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 […] >>
