Taking up tomorrow's computing challenges in a connected world: maintaining performance progress while curtailing power consumption.
New computing technologies
The development of new materials is a key factor in optimizing FD-SOI transistors. Marie Merlin, a PhD student at CEA-Leti, is addressing this topic in her thesis, and her research on the use of titanium in FD-SOI technologies shows great promise. At the MAM (Materials for Advanced Metallization) conference, a must-attend event in the field of interconnection and contact recovery materials, Marie received the award for the best poster.
How to optimize the lifespan of a ball bearing in an industrial environment? At CEA-Leti, Guillaume Prevost applies symbolic regression to detect damage early on through precise analysis of bearing vibrations. His research paper, which won an award at the International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management 2025 (PHM), paves the way for embedded predictive maintenance.
Youssof Fassi, a PhD student at CEA-Leti, is harnessing artificial intelligence to tackle the challenge of optimizing the reliability of electronic power systems. Linking data and physical models, he is developing hybrid approaches to predictive maintenance that have garnered awards at the APEC and PCIM conferences, the world's flagship power electronics events. His research is paving the way for innovative, non-invasive and resource-efficient solutions allowing real-time monitoring of power converters.
Assessing the thermal conduction at low temperature of materials and technological building blocks is critical to develop cryogenic systems. At CEA-Leti, Charles Bon-Mardion has particularly distinguished himself with the evaluation of the thermal conduction of stacks of superconducting materials. These superconductors will be used to form interconnections aiming to electrically link two chips while thermally isolating them. His research has earned him the Best Paper Award at the IEEE ESTC conference, a landmark event in integration and packaging technologies for electronic systems.
Designing ever smarter, more compact, and more advanced image sensors is a key challenge for the evolution of smartphones, connected objects, and artificial vision uses. It is precisely in the field of 3D integration that Stéphane Nicolas, project leader at CEA-Leti, distinguished himself. His innovative research, which was rewarded with the Outstanding Paper Award at the prestigious ECTC conference, opens new perspectives that will improve the architecture and increase the intelligence of sensors which are at the heart of our daily life.
