Power electronics used in particular for the electric vehicle requires the fabrication of smaller and smaller devices able of sustaining high currents and high working voltages. The miniaturization of these components requires the development of new dielectric materials with high breakdown field. A promising approach is to combine the high dielectric constant of inorganic oxides […] >>

Quantum computing is nowadays a strong field of research at CEA-LETI and in numerous institutes and companies around the world. The Quantum Silicon Grenoble project, including CEA-LETI, CEA-IRIG and Néel Institut, aims to achieve a quantum computer based on quantum bits (qubits) in silicon. The operating conditions of qubits (cryogenic temperatures = 1K, high frequencies […] >>

Over the past 20 years, wireless communication systems have continued to evolve and offer new services. Today, the success is such that the frequency bands below 10GHz are saturated and we are now turning to millimeter band frequencies. These frequencies offer the possibility to develop systems with higher data rates. However, they require beamforming to […] >>

In the Optics and Photonics division of CEA-LETI, The Emissive Components Laboratory designs and fabricates micro-displays based on GaN micro-LEDs. One of the major issue of GaN µ-LEDs is the decrease of their efficiency with the size reduction. In literature, this degradation is attributed to SRH (Shockley-Read-Hall) non-radiative recombinations on pixel sidewalls, in defects induced […] >>

In order to reduce the manufacturing costs of integrated circuits and continue their miniaturization, disruptive approaches based on the use of selective deposition processes are now being considered in addition to photolithography. Recent developments are mostly linked to the use of atomic layer deposition (ALD) which is a very suitable technique for the development of […] >>
