What if an ordinary plastic tube could perform better than copper or fiber optic cable for high-speed communications? Leti has started to prove that it can with P-Link, a system that is shockingly simple. The system was able to transmit a signal from a STMicroelectronics circuit over at distance of two meters at 7 Gbit/s. […] >>

Leti will be at Photonics West 2020 in San Francisco through February 6. The world’s largest photonics-industry event is expected to bring in more than 20,000 researchers and other industry experts. And Leti is sending 30 people this year. The jam-packed program includes an exhibit booth showcasing six technologies, around 20 papers, and a workshop […] >>

The world’s leading fourth-generation high-energy synchrotron is getting ready to reopen. The overhaul of the EBS (Extremely Brilliant Source) synchrotron at ESRF is going smoothly and, most importantly, on schedule. The new storage ring has been installed in the ESRF building. The original ring, which was commissioned in 1994, was dismantled and the more than […] >>

IMEP-LAHC recently purchased a 300 mm manual prober station with a high-quality Faraday cage. The equipment will be used to characterize the low-frequency noise (a few mHz to 10 kHz) of transistors and microelectronic components like photodiodes. The Faraday cage offers much better electromagnetic isolation (especially from electrical wiring) than the dark boxes widely used […] >>

The majority of MINATEC’s labs were recently evaluated by HCERES* for the 2014–2018 period. A 23-person evaluation committee came to Leti on November 4–7. IMEP-LAHC and FMNT were audited on November 27 and 28; LMGP was audited on December 16 and 17. A lab at IRIG was evaluated in December, with seven others to follow […] >>
