Research institute of CEA Tech, Leti has announced a new European Horizon 2020 project to develop innovative electric drivetrains for third-generation electric vehicles.

The European FP7 project PLAT4M has now been completed with results that exceeded expectations, according to Leti. Si photonics has long been expected to bring substantial breakthroughs in very high speed data communications, telecommunications and supercomputing. In addition, it is one of the most promising industrial-production candidates because of its potential for large-scale and low-cost production capability in existing CMOS foundries.

Research institute of CEA Tech in Grenoble, France, Leti, and the Berlin-based Fraunhofer Group for Microelectronics, Europe's largest R&D provider of smart systems, will initially focus on extending CMOS and More-than-Moore technologies to enable next-gen components for applications in the Internet of Things, augmented reality, automotive, health, aeronautics and other sectors, as well as systems to support French and German indust...

  Leti has announced that its embedded sensor fusion solution, SigmaFusion, has been embedded in Infineon Technologies’ AURIX TC29x platform. This platform enables automotive developers to control powertrain, body, safety and ADAS applications with one single microcontroller family.

A wearable stress monitoring device has been developed by Leti that enables customised recommendations to enhance stress-free travel and indicators for improving public transportation safety. Leti scientists will demonstrate this device, and a smartphone-based mobility observer developed in the Horizon 2020 Programme, at the 12th ITS European Conference in Strasbourg, France, 19th-22nd June.

During Display Week in Los Angeles, 21st to 26th May, Leti will demonstrate what it claims to be the world’s first wide video graphic array (WVGA) GaN microdisplay with 10µ pixel pitch. The 10µ pixel pitch technology will help address the growing demand for augmented reality glasses for consumer and professional users, head-up displays for vehicle drivers and for pico projectors and other compact projectors. This ...

Leti has announced a European Union project to develop a nanotherapy targeting the molecules involved in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. An estimated 3 million people in Europe, mostly adolescents and young adults, have been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel diseases, which are chronic disorders of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract caused by immune reactions.

Research institute of CEA Tech, Leti, has announced a European and South Korean project, 5G CHAMPION, to deliver what it claims to be the world’s first fully integrated and operational 5G prototype in conjunction with the 2018 Winter Olympics. The team of eight European and 13 Korean partners will develop a new architecture that provides an efficient end-to-end system performance encompassing cutting-edge 5G radio-access, core-network ...

Leti has announced the release of its middleware for the SensiNact IoT platform for open-source development.

Leti, a research institute of CEA Tech, announced it has developed a shield that can help protect electronic devices against physical attacks from the chips’ backside. ICs embedded in connected objects, smart cards or other systems dealing with sensitive data would benefit from this technology, which brings more privacy, safety and security to the users. Physical attacks may occur when hackers have access to the device and can exploit ...

In keeping with its mission to develop photolithography alternatives for advanced technology nodes and offer competitive solutions adapted to specific applications, Leti is developing technologies for directed self-assembly lithography (DSA), massively parallel electron beam lithography and nanoimprint lithography. Leti, a research institute at CEA Tech, will present its latest results in these approaches for fabricating advanced CMOS and si...

A μLED fabrication process to create high-resolution arrays at 10μ pitch has been developed by Leti, a research institute of CEA Tech. Both the pixelisation and the 873x500 resolution are enabled by the new process exceed technology. 

Leti, a technology research institute of CEA Tech, has announced a European project to develop a portable and wearable, multisensor and low-power spatial-exploration and obstacle-detection system for all conditions of weather and visibility.

Leti, a research institute of CEA Tech, announced it will deploy a 5G framework on the MINATEC campus in Grenoble to demonstrate a new post-OFDM (orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing) multicarrier waveform. Leti recently was granted a six-month license from Arcep, France’s telecommunications regulatory agency, to run a field trial with multiservice transmission at 3.5 GHz TDD band with 40MHz bandwidth. 3.5GHz might be the first c...

SIGMA FUSION, Leti’s low-cost solution for autonomous cars, transforms the myriad of incoming distance data into clear information about the driving environment. This efficient perception system, which Leti will demonstrate at CES 2017, combines, merges and feeds exhaustive data to an autonomous car's autopilot, providing all it needs to guarantee safe driving.

Leti, an institute of CEA Tech, will demonstrate at CES 2017 a wearable device that takes measurement of brain-activity – alpha waves – out of the clinic and puts it into the hands of consumers. Using electroencephalography (EEG) to record the brain’s alpha-wave activity, the lightweight headgear called RELAX measures the level of alert relaxation with an embedded electrode system that does not require the sensors to be att...

A light-sensing device that integrates photodiodes below the Buried Oxide (BOX) of FDSOI transistors has been developed by Leti, making the transistors sensitive to visible light. In this work, photodiodes were co-integrated in the SOI substrate, replacing conventional FDSOI transistor backgate. 

Leti researchers have demonstrated that memristive devices are excellent candidates to emulate synaptic plasticity, the capability of synapses to enhance or diminish their connectivity between neurons, which is widely believed to be the cellular basis for learning and memory. The breakthrough was presented at IEDM 2016 in San Francisco in the paper, “Experimental Demonstration of Short and Long Term Synaptic Plasticity Using OxRAM Mult...

  Leti CEO Marie Semeria delivered a sweeping, optimistic assessment of a rapidly evolving world where “hyperconnectivity” and the Internet of Things – guided by a “human-centered research approach and symbiotic development strategies” – herald profound changes in the way individuals relate to each other and to the physical world.

Leti, an institute of CEA Tech, along with Inac, a fundamental research division of CEA, and the University of Grenoble Alpes have achieved the first demonstration of a quantum-dot-based spin qubit using an industry-standard fabrication process. Published in Nature Communications, and the topic of an invited paper at IEDM 2016, this proof-of-concept breakthrough uses a device fabricated on a 300-mm CMOS fab line.
