The Laue microdiffraction instrument (µLaue), installed at the European Synchrotron (ESRF) in Grenoble (BM32 beamline), is unique in Europe and probes the matter by diffracting a polychromatic X-ray beam of a few hundred nanometers. The acquisition of the Laue diffraction diagram is very fast and allows scanning the samples with high precision to get the […] >>

Work carried out within the CEA-Leti has shown that physical attacks can be a threat to the security mechanisms of SoCs (System-On-Chips). Indeed, fault injections by electromagnetic disturbance have already led to an elevation of privileges by authenticating with an illegitimate password, or more recently have made it possible to circumvent one of the highest […] >>

The proposed research work is twofold: improving the energy efficiency of 5G/6G millimeter radio access network and securing radio links. Mixed solutions at the frontier between the definition of radio head architecture and signal processing algorithms will be proposed and assessed according to two criteria: the energy efficiency of the proposed solutions and the ability […] >>

3D sensing by capturing depth images, is a key function in numerous emerging applications such as facial recognition, augmented reality, robotics or drones. CEA targets the development of an innovative 3D sensing module, inspired from frequency modulated Lidar, with simultaneous illumination of the whole scene. To miniaturize the system, the proposed PhD will focus on […] >>

Description of the project: Semiconductor piezoelectric nanowires (NWs) (GaN and ZnO among others) have improved piezoelectric properties compared to thin films and bulk materials, due to their greater flexibility and sensitivity to lower forces. An intrinsic improvement in piezoelectric coefficients has also been identified by recent theoretical and experimental studies [1, 2]. These NWs can […] >>
