Can artificial intelligence be trusted to drive an autonomous vehicle if all of the computing is done in the cloud? Only if there are absolutely no transmission issues, which would delay the real-time decision-making required to operate these vehicles safely. Leti is investigating embedded artificial intelligence (AI embedded in the integrated circuit) as a solution […] >>

The acoustical waves emitted when a crack propagates in a material can change the crack’s trajectory. The waves create alternating smooth and rough textures on the changed surface of the material. The phenomenon was observed during research conducted by INAC, Leti, and Soitec on SOI wafers, which are made by cleaving silicon. Small cavities, like […] >>

US-based Silvaco, a world-class provider of electronic design automation software, has set up a joint lab with Leti. The three-year lab will focus on the development of electrical behavior models for nanowire CMOS transistors and gallium nitride power transistors. The models developed will be integrated into Silvaco’s software, used to design and simulate circuits built […] >>

Thanks to Nano 2022 initiative funding, Leti will complete installation of its first wave of 30 pieces of 300 mm microelectronics equipment in 2019. The equipment will expand Leti’s technological capabilities, positioning the institute to address tomorrow’s innovations. The Nano 2022 initiative, financed by the CEA, the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes Regional Council, and the French government […] >>

In late October, a multidisciplinary team from Grenoble that included several Phelma students, brought two wins home from the iGEM International Genetically Engineered Machine competition in Boston. Their phagotherapy project, entitled “Phagyzer,” won a bronze medal, and was also selected in the Best Hardware category. In just a few months, the team developed a liquid […] >>
