Rapid prototyping has become very popular in the manufacturing industries. However, until now, it has not been possible to prototype micron-scale patterns using the technique. Startup Smart Force Technologies, founded in 2015 by two former LTM-CNRS PhD candidates, is responding to this need and has already sold several units of its Smart Print optical photolithography […] >>

Éloïse Pariset, a PhD candidate conducting research at Leti, is one of 30 winners of the L’Oréal-UNESCO “For Women in Science” award. Since 2015 she has been working to develop a cancer diagnostic system for which several patents are currently being filed. The miniaturized system isolates and characterizes (mass, size, density, and deformability) the extracellular […] >>

Startups, SMBs, and large companies that would like to verify the designs of their future single- or multi-processor circuits can now benefit from the support of a new emulation service at Leti offering record-breaking performance. For the past four years Leti and Mentor® (a Siemens company) have been working together to use and improve Mentor’s […] >>

It is now possible to analyze secure-circuit failures at the individual transistor—the ultimate degree of precision. However, to do so requires access to one of the world’s four nanofocused X-ray beams. A team of researchers from CESTI*-Leti used the beamline at Grenoble’s Synchrotron to obtain some original results. The nanofocused beam can put and keep […] >>

The eight partners of the EU PiezoMAT project, coordinated by Leti, achieved resolutions twice as high as what the FBI requires for fingerprint recognition. The project resulted in a prototype fingerprint recognition sensor with 250 pixels 4 microns in diameter; each pixel is made up of a bunch of piezoelectric nanowires on silicon. When a […] >>
