CEA-Leti offers eco-innovation studies to some of its R&D partners. Why? Léa Di Cioccio:Environmental regulations–both in France and across Europe–are one of the factors driving demand for this kind of study among our R&D partners.SMEs have expressed a real need for support.Fabless manufacturers are seeking insights that will help them work more effectively with semiconductor […] >>

The EU Horizon 2020 program turned out to be especially productive for CEA-Leti, with 184 projects securing €192 million in funding. The average EU project acceptance rate is 17%. CEA-Leti had 26% of its projects accepted—and served as coordinator on 34 of them!CEA-Leti is more committed than ever to addressing major societal challenges—from the medicine […] >>

Spintec recently completed a proof-of-concept of a promising memristor that could be used as an artificial synapse in neuromorphic architectures.This non-volatile memory’s resistance can have multiple intermediate values between a minimum and a maximum.Thanks to recent advances, the storage layer’s magnetization can be oriented and stabilized in all directions of the layer plane, rather than […] >>

CEA-Leti outlined a bold vision for augmented reality glasses in three papers it presented at SPIE Photonics West in the United States, charting a course toward high-tech specs as lightweight and unobtrusive as regular prescription eyewear.The technology hinges on transparent silicon nitride waveguides deposited on a glass substrate.The waveguides would then be used to project […] >>

In research for the H2020 Holdon project, CEA-Leti developed a LiDAR for observing greenhouse gases CO2 and methane from space.Built with a III-V (HgCdTe) detector and CMOS read circuit, the device’s operating range is between the UV and NIR spectra.With single-photon sensitivity and a dynamic range of six to seven orders of magnitude, the LiDAR’s […] >>
