CEA-Leti, a leading European research institute for microelectronics, today reaffirmed its long standing collaboration with GlobalFoundries (GF), whose ongoing participation in the FAMES Pilot Line as an end user is advancing more than two decades of joint work on fully depleted silicon on insulator (FD SOI) technology and reinforcing Europe's leadership in energy efficient, sovereign semiconductors. Funded by the European Commission and participating Member States under the Chips JU, FAMES continues to accelerate the early stage research shaping the next generation of FD SOI.
A research team from CEA-Leti, in collaboration with Université Grenoble Alpes and Grenoble Alpes University Hospital (CHU Grenoble Alpes), has developed an AI model designed to support the diagnosis of bipolar disorder and its subtypes. The model relies on data acquired through two complementary and portable modalities: electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). These technologies offer a low-cost solution suitable for routine clinical use. The team’s work has helped define a system capable of identifying relevant biomarkers to distinguish bipolar disorder type I from type II.
CEA-Leti has recently opened access to LUMIK, its optomechanical sensing technology featuring unprecedented performance levels. Academic and industrial partners can now design and test their own sensor prototypes at an affordable cost.
CEA-Leti’s relationship with Lynred began forty years ago, when the company was created to produce and sell infrared detectors based on the infrared technologies developed at CEA-Leti. The collaboration between the two organizations never ended, and is actually about to get closer with Campus, Lynred’s new production site.
In March 2025, CEA launched a bold and ambitious research program AUDACE that mobilizes all CEA research fields, as well as over 80 academic partners throughout France supporting around 10 projects.
ECTC 2026 Paper Reports Breakthrough in 3D Integration for High-Performance Computing, Advanced Smart Vision and Artificial Intelligence
RESOLVE, a Strategic Initiative Shaping the Future of High-Value-Added Electronic Products in Europe
CEA-Leti has releases its 2026 Scientific Report, showcases a year of significant advances in semiconductor technologies and reaffirms its central role in International's innovation ecosystem. The report reflects the institute's commitment to supporting the CEA's strategic priorities at international, european and national level, notably through France 2030 programs and the EU Chips Act.
The performance of advanced microelectronic devices depends especially on the efficient transport of electrical charges. These transport properties are strongly related to deformation of the crystal lattice. Strain engineering, which involves deliberately stretching or compressing a crystal lattice, is used to boost the speed of electron flow in a device. Even a fraction of percent change in lattice spacing can translate into faster and more power-efficient processors.
Aledia, a CEA-Leti start-up, has announced the launch of FlexiNova, its first product. It is based on an industrial platform that will enable the company to scale up its production of microLED technology, which presents promising advantages for screen manufacturers. This world first is the fruit of a long-term collaboration with CEA-Leti.
Ongoing predictive maintenance is critical in CEA-Leti labs, whose sophisticated and sensitive systems support the vital work of research engineers. Effective maintenance extends the lifespan of machines, prevents unplanned downtime, and optimizes maintenance in key sectors. In CEA-Leti’s Systems Department, researchers are incorporating artificial intelligence with established practices.
Is it possible to etch GaN (gallium nitride) pixels without damaging the sidewalls? This is Sandra Kozuch's goal, a PhD student at CEA-Leti, who has developed advanced etching processes for micro-LED applications intended for augmented reality displays and fiber-optic communications. At the 71st conference of the American Vacuum Society (AVS), Sandra won the award for best student presentation (the Coburn and Winters Student Award), a significant recognition of this breakthrough in etching technology.

Under the MUGS (MUltiGas Sensor) project, a CEA-Leti research team has developed a compact multigas sensor that is capable of taking volcanic activity readings. Benefitting from CEA-Leti’s expertise in silicon manufacturing, the device delivered compelling early results following tests at La Soufrière, in Guadeloupe.
Following iNGage’s recent €6 million seed-round fund raising, co founder and CEO Philippe Robert looked back at its recent history with the CEA and at what lies ahead. The company launched just over a year ago in February 2025, following two years of support from the Magellan Program, CEA’s startup accelerator.
The two flagship institutes of the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) are global innovation leaders in microelectronics and intelligent digital systems
The partnership will facilitate sharing knowledge, joint R&D projects, and nurturing talent.This signature therefore marks a tangible step forward toward a more integrated, resilient, and competitive European ecosystem.
Since 2016, MBDA and CEA have been collaborating to develop and industrialize innovative technologies in the defense sector. Their work is based on a general collaboration agreement that structures and streamlines exchanges between the two partners, particularly in the area of components with CEA-Leti.
