CEA-Leti is proud to announce the kick-off meeting today of the FAMES Pilot Line, a pioneering project aimed at advancing semiconductor technologies in Europe. This 830 M€ initiative aligns with the ambition of the EU Chips Act, which seeks to bolster EU semiconductor capabilities and ensure technological sovereignty.
Thanks to a miniaturized, superdirective antenna associated with dedicated algorithms, CEA-Leti is able to read commercial RFID tags with record positioning accuracy in the reading range. This innovation opens the way for automated accurate inventory as well as the counting of goods or people and the surveillance of livestock.
In collaboration with Smiths Detection, CEA-Leti developed an innovative detection module for small-angle X-ray diffraction. This module is integrated into a novel type of airport baggage-scanner. The SDX 10060 XDi is marketed by Smiths Detection and had its world premiere at the Passenger Terminal Expo in Frankfurt, Germany, on April 16-18, 2024.
How can we best monitor air quality, which is responsible for 4.2 million premature deaths per year worldwild? CEA-Leti is developing a number of sensor technologies, in particular high-performance, low-cost photoacoustic sensors, which would make it possible to increase the number of monitoring devices in the field.
Companies of all types and sizes—from startups to established corporations—can work with the CEA, leveraging the expertise of both CEA-List and CEA-Leti, to develop next-generation integrated circuits for consumer electronics, automotive systems, medical devices, and other tech-intensive products. Learn how CEA experts are helping companies quickly and efficiently take their product innovations from lab to fab.
CEA-Leti scientists presented three papers at the IEEE Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits detailing the institute's progress on 3D integration technologies, which are a promising approach for designing More than Moore systems, especially radio frequency (RF) integrated systems.
Trans-Atlantic Collaboration Starts with Focus on Enabling Next-Gen Magnetic Memory Devices at the 300mm Wafer Scale
In the latest Clarivate ranking of the world's top 100 innovators, CEA is ranked 31st and first among public research organizations. This performance rewards CEA-Leti's policy of promoting innovation and its scientific and economic impact, notably through the filing of patent applications.
The fruitful collaboration between NUVIA and CEA-Leti continues with the development of NuVISION-MAX, a compact gamma camera that significantly improves sensitivity.
Quantum transistors are a promising technology for the future of electronics. They could give rise to computers that are more powerful, more energy-efficient and more secure than classical computers. However, their integration remains a major technological challenge. In order to enable the manufacturing of these new architectures a plasma etching method called atomic layer etching is used.
With years of expertise in silicon photonics, CEA-Leti researchers have developed two complementary approaches for high performance photon detectors. This innovative technology meets the needs of disruptive applications in a variety of sectors such as Free Space Optics for telecoms, quantum computing and quantum cryptography. Depending on application requirements, CEA-Leti now offers cutting-edge solutions using either Avalanche Photodetectors (APD) with Mercury Cadmium Telluride (MCT) or Superconducting Single Photon Detectors (SSPD).
The need for reliable methods to ensure the safety and security of Edge artificial intelligence systems has never been more pressing. With regulations like the EU’s AI Act sharpening the collective focus on AI trustworthiness, risk, and acceptability, CEA-Leti made a breakthrough on the often-overlooked physical threats to AI systems, demonstrating a robust evaluation method on a common IoT use case.
The field of satellite technology is undergoing a revolution with the development of “New Space” and miniaturized antennas. As space becomes increasingly crowded and raises the need for optimized power directions, the ability to reduce the size and weight of satellite antennas while maintaining their performance is essential. Marwan Jadid delivered encouraging results during his presentation, showing how these advancements are expanding possibilities for applications and services that were once thought impossible.
Epitaxy has become a key process in the development of devices that rely on substrates. While epitaxy refers to the general ability to grow crystals or deposit a material on a substrate, there are numerous types of epitaxy, which each have their own fields of application. Expertise at CEA-Leti covers a wide range of applications, including recent work on Nitride Epitaxy, particularly adapted to power or radio-frequency transistors as well as micro-LEDs.
This work demonstrates Feasibility of Combining Hybrid Bonding and High-Density Through-Silicon Vias
CEA-Leti's cornerstone research on silicon carbide substrates initially gained traction in 2019 with Soitec on booming demand from the electric vehicle market and a scarcity of monocrystalline silicon. Today, with four presentations at ICSCRM 2023 showcasing pioneering advances in transferred silicon carbide substrates for electronics and photonics, CEA-Leti continues to lead the way in silicon carbide and thin film transfer technologies.
As published in the March April 2024 issue of Chip Scale Review
The European InSecTT project focuses on the security of embedded AI. As a partner in this three-year project, CEA-Leti developed innovative solutions to authenticate intelligent systems and protect them from various cyberattacks. These advances coincide with the promulgation of the European AI Act.
The IEEE, the largest international professional association devoted to electricity and electronics, has recognized the achievements of Olivier Faynot, the Director of CEA-Leti's Silicon Components Department, for his exceptional achievements with advanced CMOS components.
