Joint Work Shows Next Generations of RF and Optical Front-End Modules (FEM) Could Be Built by the Assembly of Different Silicon Technologies at Wafer Level, Allowing the Dense Co-integration of Best-In Class Functions.
In collaboration with CEA-Irig, a CEA-Leti team has developed a microfluidics platform that facilitates the analysis of extracellular vesicles, the tiny particles that play a pivotal part in cancer progression. The device could therefore be used for diagnostic purposes, and for testing the efficacy of therapeutic molecules individualized for each patient.
In 2025, CEA-Leti consolidated its role as a cybersecurity assessor by receiving two new approvals. More notably, it became the first French CESTI accredited for assessing post-quantum cryptography, quantum threat-proof cryptography that will soon be indispensable.
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.
The TOXBOX project aims to improve the field of toxicological evaluation by offering new alternatives to animal testing. CEA-Leti, one of the 16 European partners, contributes with its expertise on standardized microfluidic systems and electrochemical sensors.
Scintil Photonics is a spin-off of CEA-Leti that offers solutions to accelerate data transmission within AI data centers through optical communication. The silicon photonics technology, developed at CEA-Leti, recently convinced high-profile investors to participate in a €50 million funding round.
Open to All Segments of the Microelectronics Supply Chain, The Project Aims to Increase High-Performance Computing Speed and Efficiency With ‘Orders-of-Magnitude’ Data-Transfer Gains
Soitec and CEA-Leti partner to advance automotive cybersecurity with FD-SOI technology
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.
Leveraging its expertise in fields such as integrated circuits for telecommunications, CEA-Leti continues to drive innovation in cutting-edge applications. One of its latest projects is the miniaturization of an Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectrometer, a technology that could redefine how spectrometry is used across various industries.
'Nature Electronics' Paper Details System That Blends Best Traits Of Once-Incompatible Technologies—Ferroelectric Capacitors and Memristors
Last year, the French government tasked the CEA with coordinating an avant-garde research program ("Recherche à Risque” program funded by France 2030 to the tune of €40 million for 2024) in collaboration with all its academic partners. The "Audace!” program aims to stimulate researchers’ creativity by empowering them to boldly explore new avenues and imagine tomorrow’s disruptive innovations. As part of this program led by the Technological Research Department (DRT), CEA-Leti and its partners are tackling one of the major challenges facing digital technology: hardware cybersecurity.
Observing what we cannot see ranks among the great challenges for contemporary science. In the fields of astrophysics and quantum optics, the ability to detect extremely weak signals, in some cases consisting of a single photon, is essential to our efforts to explore the universe or develop new technologies. To meet this challenge, CEA-Leti and partners are taking part in the Audace! program, funded under France 2030’s “recherche à risque” scheme, which supports avant-garde projects imagining the disruptive innovations of tomorrow.
Published in ‘Nature Communications Materials’, Paper Details Creation of Record-Setting Red Emission from InGaN Quantum Wells
The strategy adopted for protecting pancreatic islets from immune rejection is to microencapsulate them in soft, porous, biocompatible microcapsules. CEA-Leti was project coordinator and leader for microcapsule production, characterisation, dissemination and planned usage.
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.
Research engineers at CEA-Leti have developed an innovative superconducting interconnect brick that could enable achieving a higher density of chip-to-chip connections while minimizing the thermal transfer between the chips.
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.
A recently concluded 42-month EU project, ELENA, announced today the development of the first-ever, European-made lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) substrates for photonic integrated circuits (PICs)—a breakthrough that establishes a fully European supply chain for thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) technology.
