Energy, Communication, Health and Well-being bears major
challenges for our society. LETI’s reseach areas are driven
from them, resulting in innovative processes, devices and
systems. In 2013, remarquable results were achieved with our
industrial partners, and several of them entered production.
Demonstrating FD-SOI’s
industrial availability
Digital processing and CMOS technologies drive the performance
of most data-based applications, and its energy-efficiency is a
critical requirement, from servers to large-scaled deployed sensor
networks for Internet of Things. In this global race to powerfull
and efficient CMOS, Grenoble ecosystem took a daring path some
years ago, which proved to be a leading solution, known as FDSOI technology. Unmatched results were demonstrated at 28nm
generation, in terms of speed and low-voltage operation, and this
technology is now in production, while future generations are
being developed, still proving major competitive advantages.
A world of Sensors
Size, performance, and cost determine the value of microelectronic devices for designers, OEMs, companies and, ultimately,
end users. This was proven again in 2013. Leti’s deep and diverse
sensor expertise, developed over many decades, has positioned it
as a key supplier of technologies, components and systems that
meet these requirements, along with innovative power-supply
technologies.
Imaging is one example, where Leti built a world-class global environment around its imaging platform serving industrial partners.
Leti offers a wide and unique range of imaging opportunities covering the infrared and the visible spectrums, and extending to the
fields of millimetric, terahertz and X-ray imaging, with platforms

world-class electrical and
reliability test results, and
established the Leti-Shinko
partnership among the most
significant developments in
this field.

balanced to account for global technological integration
of multichip stacking.
Leti’s 300mm pilot line
The lab’s primary work in 2013
involved setting up measurement and modeling of the
properties and thermomechanical behavior of each
material to establish a material database. With that data,
a predictive model was built,
taking into account the complete integration and design
of the targeted device and
leading to a technological
adaptation of materials.
On that foundation, full integration was achieved, starting
from bulk silicon processing
on Leti’s 300mm pilot line to
a mounted device at Shinko’s
site in Japan.
The common lab’s realization
of a 3D 300mm silicon interposer demonstrator allows
Shinko to propose a high-end
prototype and even first products to meet its customers’
requests for this technology.
“The French-Japanese collaboration and the strong
team spirit that was focused
on meeting the big challenges of the 3D 300mm
pilot-line ramp up were very
exciting,” said Fabrice Geiger,
head of Leti’s Silicon Technology Division. “It has been a
rich human and scientific
experience that produced
top-level results.”

optical network-in-package
III-V/silicon photonics lasers
for superfast telecom networks
Increased communication bandwidth made possible by silicon photonics allows a denser integration of process-ors and memories, while maintaining a tight energy budget. This is good news for
major semiconductor manufacturers that want to leverage optical functions to increase the integration
and computing capabilities of current multiprocessor devices.
The integration of III-V material with silicon is a breakthrough that will bring new
functions to silicon – functions that can only be delivered by III-V semiconductors – at a
much lower cost compared to III-V materials. A typical example is silicon photonics, in
which lasers are manufactured using III-V material as active material and silicon as a
waveguide.
III-V Lab is focusing on this
most effective and economical way to create a new
generation of very high-rate
optical communication links
that the telecommunications industry needs. The
lab, jointly owned by Thales,
Alcatel-Lucent and CEA, is
one of the main players in
Europe for III-V materials R&D.
Leti brings its world-leading
expertise and experience in
the field of silicon photonics
and molecular bonding to the
partnership.
Key achievements of this
collaboration include the
world’s first demonstration
of an integrated tunable
transmitter on silicon incorporating a hybrid III-V/Si laser

fabricated by direct bonding,
and a silicon Mach-Zehnder
modulator with high extinction ratio. These results
clearly position the lab
among the top world players
in silicon photonics R&D.
100Gb/s data
transmission rates
Typical applications for this
technology range from longhaul telecommunications
to shorter links for data
centers, all at the highest
possible data transmission
rates: 100Gb/s or higher.
In 2013, we manufactured
the first tunable continuous
indium-phosphide (InP) laser
on Si with system-grade specification that could be used
within a telecommunication
system. This sets the stage
for one of our key objectives
in 2014: to increase the power
of Si photonics-based lasers
and demonstrate their reliability.
III-V Lab aims to support
and secure the supply chain
of strategic electronic or
electro-optic components
that give Thales and AlcatelLucent a strong differentiator and competitive advantage at system level. The
combined skills and knowhow of the lab’s partners are
key to achieving those goals.

a broad range
of expertise
In 2013, the team from three
Leti departments completed the system architecture and preliminary tests of
the 3D packaging technology
required to combine optics
and electronics on the same
device.
The project requires the use
of highly advanced and sometimes unique design, fabrication, and test platforms available at Leti. Design tools that
allow complex modeling of
high-frequency interconnection structures, and multiphysics combining electronics
and photonics are necessary
to integrate the basic building
blocks into a formal circuitlevel and system-level design
environment. Fabricating the
optical components and the
3D assembly of electronics
and optics on the interposer
requires specialized platforms
that combine standard CMOS
processing steps with dedicated process developments
for the optical components.
Finally, measuring the basic
building blocks and the complete system requires highly
advanced electro-optical
test benches.
“Realizing feasible and economically viable optical links
in the packages requires a
broad range of expertise, and
the Hubeo+ project is a very
good example of how Leti
combines research activities
underway in various departments to achieve big results
for our partners and for industry,” said Yvain Thonnart,
Hubeo+ project leader.

QoSMOS project

for exploiting TV
white space
TVWS utilization relies on
dynamic spectrum access
(DSA), where systems have to
assess channel vacancy before they can use it. Currently,
this is managed through a
geo-location database that
maps allowed transmit powers
at any location.
In 2010, Leti and 14 partners
in the European FP7 QoSMOS project set out to develop a flexible radio to enable
DSA. In 2013, the team developed the TVWS FleXible radio
(T-FleX), a programmable board,
similar to software-defined
radio, to test radio systems in
the UHF and other bands.
16
Enabling technologies
and devices
In the project Leti also developed a specific TVWS air interface, based on filter bank
multi carrier (FBMC), which is
very well suited to DSA and
prevents radio interference
on adjacent channels.
Allocate frequencies
in real time
With the T-Flex radio, Leti
demonstrated that FBMC
could be used to dynamically
allocate spectrum fragments
in real time, and thus enable
better spectrum usage than
classic radio systems.
The switch to digital technology
by TV broadcast systems has freed spectrum in the UHF bands in some countries.
In the U.S., the freed spectrum, known as
TV white space (TVWS), can be exploited
by opportunistic unlicensed systems to
provide broadband communications, as
long as they do not create harmful interference with TV services.
In practice, this means that devices operating in the TVWS must guarantee low
power leakage in adjacent channels. The
U.S. FCC prescribes that this leakage must
be at most 55dB under the TVWS transmitted power.
Moreover, Leti observed with
FBMC that the error-free level
of an adjacent Digital Video
Broadcasting — Terrestrial
(DVB-T) video broadcast was
reached with a 9dB transmit
power margin, compared to
orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM).
This means that FBMC can
be used either to significantly reduce interference
for the same transmitted
power or that coverage can
be increased for a given interference level. In addition,
QoSMOS demonstrated the
low adjacent leakage levels
prescribed by the U.S. FCC.

A next-generation smart pipe
for the energy industry
The ability to monitor underwater oil and gas pipelines’ condition and response to
events is a critical issue facing pipe manufacturers and global energy producers.
Technip, a world leader in
engineering and construction for the energy industry,
launched the Morphopipe
project with Leti in 2011 to
develop an integrated solution that allows continuous
monitoring of the dynamic
response and condition of
subsea flexible pipelines.
Focusing primarily on ways
to detect 3D curvature and
twisting of pipes, the system
will be integrated in Technip’s
future flexible pipes that are
targeting new markets in the
offshore industry. Key features of this new technology
include the ability to detect
one-time extreme events as
well as monitor pipe fatigue
over time. These capabilities
will both improve safety and
potentially extend the service life of pipelines.
Technip chose Leti for this
R&D project because of Leti’s
ability to develop a specific
curvature algorithm based
on the appropriate and
best-in-class MEMs technology to meet stringent
application requirements
for flexible pipe. Combining
that expertise with Technip’s
manufacturing experience
and extensive knowledge of
pipe design and behaviour,
the project team in 2013
tailored the algorithm for
Technip’s needs and extensively tested a prototype
monitoring system. The
prototype system has been
delivered to Technip for fullscale testing. The project
also defined a concept for
integrating the system into
our new flexible pipe during
manufacturing.
‘A big differentiator’
This project’s success stems
from Leti and Technip’s
ability to apply leadingedge electronics and highly
advanced mathematics for
flexible-pipes monitoring.
The partnership also has
given Leti the opportunity
to participate in full-scale
testing of flexible pipe behaviour in representative
conditions.
Technip’s ultimate goal is to
provide our clients a smart,
dynamic flexible pipe that is
suitable for most platform
configurations. The monitoring capabilities that this
solution offers do not exist
today, so integrating this
system in our pipe has the
potential to be a big differentiator for Technip.

New lensfree-imaging
technique offers microscopy
breakthrough
Developed by Leti in 2009, lensfree imaging provides a unique opportunity for companies to
implement a technological breakthrough in optical imaging.
The technique provides
multi-scale observation capability across two orders
o f m a g n i t u d e , a l l o w i n g
researchers to differentiate
between tissues and cells,
and bacteria and viruses.
It opens a range of applications in pharmacology and
biotechnology, including drug
screening and bioprocess
monitoring, as well as portable diagnostics and air and
water monitoring. Moreover,
the lensfree optical imaging
system is much smaller than
standard microscopes, and
less expensive because it
is made of low-cost components.
The technique generates
holographic images of microparticles, cells, viruses, or
bacteria by employing a light-
18
emitting diode to illuminate
objects, and a CMOS digital
sensor array to capture their
image. Images are analyzed
by computer, so results are
available instantaneously.
The process has an extremely
large field of view (24mm2),
allowing simultaneous observation of thousands of organisms.
Transfer to industry
Leti has developed one of the
world’s more advanced labs in
lensfree-imaging technology.
In keeping with its mission
of creating innovation and
transferring it to industry,
Leti in 2013 achieved the first
industrial valorization of the
technique with the French
startup IPRASENSE for pro-
cess control of cell cultures
applied to bio-production.
Leti’s in-vitro diagnostics
spinout Avalun also will use
the technique.
“Lensfree imaging has proven to be a major innovation
in the field of microscopy,
and it helps position Leti
as a technological leader
in instrumentation for biology, chemistry, and environment monitoring,” said
Claude Vauchier, lab-on-chip
program manager for biology
and chemistry. “In addition,
we have the opportunity
to develop new tools and
instrumentation for other
applications using the
lensfree building blocks.”
Demonstrating
FD-SOI’s advantages
at the 14nm technology node
Fully Depleted Silicon-on-Insulator (FD-SOI) is a differentiating technology: cheaper than bulk FinFET and simpler to manufacture, while providing excellent
performance and superior energy efficiency.
For the past two years, STMicroelectronics, IBM, and
Leti have been working on
a FD-SOI project to develop a 14nm-node technology platform for high-speed
and energy-efficient CMOS
products for mobile, multimedia, gaming, and networking applications.
ST, which has been a global

A familiar path
The current project, which
builds on more than 15
years of advanced research
on FD-SOI by Leti, ST, and
IBM, involves more than 100
people, mostly at ST’s facility in Crolles, France, where
the platform is being implemented. The path is familiar:
ST started a 28nm production process at the Crolles
manufacturing site in 2012.
Leti has committed more
than 20 full-time specialists

Leti M&NEMS technology drives
cheaper, smaller, low-power
MEMS sensors for smartphones
The explosive growth in consumer demand for versatile devices with functional and creative features has been
a boon to the MEMS industry. More than a billion smartphones are manufactured annually and each can contain more
than 10 MEMS for movement detection, and in the near future for augmented reality and pedestrian navigation.
Tronics, a 1997 Leti spinoff, is an international full–
service MEMS manufacturer
offering an extensive portfolio of MEMS processes. It has
helped multiple clients serve
the growing global demand
for sophisticated devices.
consequently to significant
price reduction. Besides its
size advantage, the piezoresistive nanowire-based
technology significantly decreases power consumption
without sacrificing performance.
To expand its offer for the
promising global consumer
market, Tronics and Leti
started the ULTIMES project in 2012. The goal was
to transfer to Tronics Leti’s
new technology based on the
M&NEMS concept that combines on one device a thick
MEMS layer for the inertial
mass, with a thin and narrow NEMS part as suspended
strain piezoresistive gauge.
This concept involves amplification effects that lead to
much smaller devices than
current state of the art, and
Towards a universal
technological
platform
The M&NEMS technology
allows the manufacture
through traditional methods
of all sensor types required in
a smartphone (accelerometers, magnetometers, gyrometers, pressure sensors,
and microphones) on a single
silicon chip using a common process flow (M&NEMS
platform), leading to a high
degree of integration.
Less than two years after
the beginning of the project,
Tronics announced that it
successfully designed and
manufactured the first batch
of 6DOF (6 degrees of freedom) MEMS chips, with three
accelerometers and three
gyroscopes on a single die.
With a die size of less than
4mm2, this 6DOF MEMS chip
is one of the smallest in the
industry.
As Pascal Langlois, CEO of
Tronics Group, said: “This is
a major step in the execution of our strategy to offer
innovative technologies for
consumer products with the
intent to give IDMs and OEMs
access to state-of-the-art
inertial solutions in terms
of process technology, size,
power consumption and performance.”

A very precise location system
for smartphones and wearables
The story behind the launch of BeSpoon began with the PinPointer project at Leti in 2009. The team set out to
develop a new, more accurate way to locate objects and people indoors using handheld devices. Leti was one of only
four labs in the world to have demonstrated a full-silicon proof-of-concept for IR-UWB (impulse radio-ultrawide band).
BeSpoon brought its system knowhow and thorough understanding of smartphone architecture.
IR-UWB is recognized as an
ideal technology for indoor
applications, both in terms
of accuracy and robustness.
Targeting smartphones and
wearable devices, we integrated this technology on
a full-blown IR-UWB CMOSintegrated transceiver that
is able to measure distance
– within a few centimeters
– based on the time it takes
the radio signal to travel,
rather than signal strength.
Unlike current solutions, our
location technology also is
extremely reliable. Walls,
people or distance do not
affect its accuracy.
World record
BeSpoon launched in 2010
and the BeSpoon and Leti
collaboration continued.
In 2013, we established
a world record of operation range in IR-UWB. This
was a particularly meaningful event, as this radio
technology is tightly regulated. Its output power is
limited to -41.3dB/Mhz. We
demonstrated that this
limitation was not a showstopper for us.
Designed for straightforward
integration within smartphones and set-top boxes,
our chip will bring new use
cases to smartphones and
offer new services across
wearables. It will also drastically increase the efficiency
and decrease the cost of
real-time location systems.
In particular, it will allow
far more precise location
information than the beaconbased local positioning systems used in today’s smartphones.
BeSpoon’s continuing work
with Leti in 2013 also led to the
introduction of SpoonPhone in
early 2014. SpoonPhone is an
Android smartphone containing the latest generation of
our chip. Using special tags
users place on their valuables
and easy-to-misplace objects, the phone will put an
end to those frantic searches
that are the bane of our daily
lives. SpoonPhone also is a
powerful development kit to

Building smart instruments
using lensfree imaging
Leti and Iprasense started the Quantacell project to conduct research and development on cell-monitoring techniques and instrument prototypes based on lensfree imaging. The lensfree technique, developed by Leti in 2009, generates holographic images of
micro-particles, cells, viruses, or bacteria by employing a light-emitting diode to illuminate
objects, and a CMOS digital sensor array to capture their images. This is a non-invasive technique, meaning no sensors come in contact with the cells media.

The lensfree-imaging technology is ideal for
daily use in laboratories. It is faster than traditional techniques, because cell imaging is
done in real time, and it improves both process
control and the quality of cell production.
Real-time information
The common lab we have setup with Leti corresponds to one of the best research-and-innovation structures for our company size. It gives us
access to high-level skilled personnel and, more
important, to a very wide range of competencies.

Spain’s smart city
and living lab
In the EU’s quest to create smart cities, the North Atlantic coastal town of Santander,
Spain, has become a living laboratory for designing, creating and testing the infrastructure,
applications and services that will make cities more efficient and improve people’s lives.
Morpho Detection is a leading supplier of threat-detection systems for explosives, narcotics and CBRNe. Its customers
include government, military, air-andground transportation, first-responder,
critical-infrastructure and other publicsafety organizations.
Devices are deployed in the city, along avenues,
in the parks, on the front of houses, and form an
infrastructure that allows executing both
experimentation and user-addressed services.

Morpho Detection, which is part of Morpho,
Safran Group’s security unit, has worked with
Leti since 2010 to meet an EU deadline to deploy
the “Type D” solution at airports for screening
passenger carry-ons.
Technology transfer
The result of that effort is XDi™, a liquidexplosives detection solution developed by
Morpho Detection. It includes photon-counting
X-ray detectors developed in this collaboration,
as well as ASICS and spectroscopic applications
for high-energy resolution. The team met the
deadline for first detector prototypes in 2013,
and transferred this technology to Morpho
Detection to enable future deployment of XDi at
airports.
In addition to increasing safety, the unique
solution delivers low false alarm rates, reduces
the need for hand searches, and could potentially lead to shorter passenger waiting times.

A network of 12,000 sensors and actuators
connected wirelessly to the IoT and a city
control facility will improve basic municipal services like traffic management, park maintenance, and environmental monitoring. Because
smart cities require the active participation of
people, the project also relies on “participatory
sensing,” in which citizens use smartphones to
share in real time what they see and experience,
and “augmented reality,” such as computermerged information sensed in the physical environment, displayed on a map of the city, for
instance, and accessed with smart devices.
‘Pulse of the City’
In 2013, the project released two innovative
applications for smartphones. One provides
information about tourism, and the scheduling
of cultural events. It also provides locations of
free parking spaces. A “pulse of the city” app
is a participatory sensing experiment, in which
citizens inform the city’s public agencies about
accidents or problems.
CEA-List and CEA-Leti were in charge of securing access to the SmartSantander infrastructure and communications over a wireless
sensor network. This included ensuring the security of the transactions and protecting users’
privacy.
Dr. Laurent Hérault, a Leti vice president and
one of the founders of the project, said it will
make Santander one of Europe’s first smart
cities, as well as provide valuable experience
and knowhow that will be used in other cities.
“As SmartSantander begins to bring tangible
benefits to residents in the coming months, it also
will serve as a laboratory for researchers working
on future technologies for the IoT,” he said.
The project’s 15 partners include universities,
research institutes and industrials. The 8.7 million-euro project has received about 6 million

Revolutionary pixel-level
packaging for infrared sensors
Extending SEEL and EnLight
success in IR detection system
The infrared market continuously challenges IR sensor makers to provide
devices that perform better at significantly lower cost. ULIS and Leti’s Pixel Level Packaging project are transforming the way future IR imaging sensors will be made, bringing new
advantages in size, cost, and robustness.
Standard low-cost motion detectors are unreliable for immobile objects
because they typically “forget” the presence of something that has stopped moving.
In addition, they are unable to provide a
“map of presence”, or locations of people in
a room. On the other hand, systems based
on visible cameras cannot locate people in
the dark.
To provide a cheap, low-power detection device
that is free of these limitations, Leti is developing a system based on an infrared camera
with dedicated algorithms that allow autonomous detection of people even in the dark with
reduced computing power. Extending the uses
for an integrated circuit developed in the SEEL
(See Awards, page 34) and EnLight programs,
researchers believe they have produced the
first embedded infrared presence localizationand-tracking system.
The system uses the Internet protocol and
Android application to transmit real-time thermal video or just “presence descriptors”, i.e.
specific information about people in a room.
In the early stages, an Ethernet port has been
used for Internet connection, but as the system
evolves, a Bluetooth or ZigBee communication
link will be used.

ULIS, a leading provider of high-quality thermal
infrared image sensors that enable makers of
consumer electronics and IR equipment to produce low-weight, low-power and cost-effective
thermal cameras in large volumes, expects the
project to provide competitive advantages in
terms of sensor cost, time to market and
patent protection.
Leveraging new technologies developed in previous EU projects, we started the PLP project
with Leti in 2011 to develop a process flow for
vacuum thin-film encapsulation of 34-micron
pixel pitch for sensors targeting the homeautomation market, a new application for ULIS.
First demonstration in 2013
Major breakthroughs in the development of
this revolutionary PLP technology in 2013 were
the improvement in material adhesion at both
capsule substrate and capsule anti-reflection
coating interfaces. This led to a stable vacuum
26
Automation
in the capsules and the first demonstration of
this technology.
These steps also helped our team anticipate
two aspects of the PLP technology transfer to
ULIS. The first is the creation of specifications
to purchase an industrial-sealing tool needed
to qualify a high-capacity PLP machine that is
typically used in the optical industry. The second
aspect of the transfer is introducing the current
bolometers in Leti’s 200mm manufacturing line
using ULIS bolometers. This expands research of
an earlier EU project, MIRTIC, that produced a
new type of affordable infrared 2D array.
This second step required us to redesign our
bolometers, taking into consideration PLP
constraints, and validate the process flow using
the 200mm line. In 2014, the team will focus on
ensuring the long-term stability of the vacuum
in the capsules to improve the life expectancy
of the product, and making further progress in
the PLP technology transfer.
Even in its early stages, the “lab object” is
sophisticated. It can broadcast presence descriptors globally on the Internet, and can be
reprogrammed from anywhere using a firmware
upgrade protocol.
Android application: Real-time display of the presence in the
room (two people detected and localized). This is directly sent
by our system. The Android application only displays it.

Leti’s SEEL and EnLight task force will continue
to improve the system’s marketability, primarily
for home-automation, building and surveillanceand-safety applications, by reducing the size
to 4x4cm² and lowering power consumption for
battery operation.
In addition to applying earlier successes to new
applications, the development of the system
highlights the value of Leti’s interdepartmental
collaboration. “This would have been impossible without our across-the-board contributions,” noted Laurent Alacoque, Leti IC designer.
“To get here, we have drawn from infrared bolometer technology, integrated circuits design,
optics-for-infrared knowhow, analog and digital board design, embedded software programming, Internet protocol programming, and
Android application design.”

A Swarm of data about
Earth’s magnetic field
When the European Space Agency
(ESA) launched the Swarm mission in November, it set the stage for scientists to get
unprecedented data about Earth’s magnetic
field, and marked another major achievement in the fruitful collaboration between
CNES and Leti to advance magnetometer
technology.
Applications
Leti and STMicroelectronics launched the Frisbee project in 2012 to design and
develop an extremely energy efficient circuit using UTBB FD-SOI technology. The goal was to design
a circuit for 28nm with a maximum operating frequency greater than 2.5 GHz, while operating at
supply voltages as low as 350mV.
At 0.4V, the DSP exhibits 10x state-of-the-art operating frequency.
In 2013, the project demonstrated a 32-bit digital signal processor, using ST’s breakthrough
ultra-thin-body and box (UTBB) FD-SOI 28nm
process technology. It allows body-bias voltage
scaling from 0V to ±2V, decreases minimum
circuit operating voltage and supports clockfrequency operation between 480MHz at 400mV
and 2.6GHz at 1.3V. At 0.4V, the DSP exhibits 10x
state-of-the-art operating frequency, and a
minimum energy point of 62pJ.
The demonstration DSP highlights FD-SOI’s high
suitability for better portable and batterypowered products with more energy efficient
integrated circuits at future technology nodes.
This DSP is designed with embedded maximum
frequency tracking and other design techniques
provided by Leti’s Architecture, IP Design and
Embedded Software Department (DACLE). This
DSP shows how UTBB FD-SOI bridges the gap
between bulk technology reaching its limits and
new technologies at the 10nm node and below
requiring expensive equipment for double-patterning or EUV lithography.

Targeted at mobile, Internet of Things and
microserver applications, the DSP’s benefits
include performance modulation in a wide range
of operating points from low-power applications
to very high-speed apps.
In February 2014, the Leti and ST team presented its results at ISSCC 2014, the International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San
Francisco, Calif., one of the most important circuit design events for industry and researchers.
The paper, entitled “A 460MHz at 397mV, 2.6GHz
at 1.3V, 32b VLIW DSP, Embedding Fmax Tracking,”
received widespread praise from conference
attendees. At the gathering, the team also
showed a demonstration kit, which is now displayed in Leti’s showroom.
“This demonstration DSP shows that FD-SOI is
blazing the trail for better portable and batterypowered products, using more efficient semiconductor chips, all the way down to the
10nm node,” said Philippe Magarshack, ST’s
executive vice president for design enablement
and services.
Space
The foundation was built in the 1990s, when
CNES commissioned Leti to build nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) magnetometers for the
1999 Ørsted space mission, which was followed
by CHAMP in 2000. In 2005, we started the
Absolute Scalar Magnetometer (ASM) Project
whose main objective was to develop a newgeneration instrument for Swarm that would
provide the highest precision, resolution, and
absolute accuracy ever attained by a magnetometer in space.
The four-year Swarm mission will gather data
that for the first time will make it possible to
distinguish between the various sources of the
magnetic field: the Earth’s core, mantle, crust,
and oceans, as well as the ionosphere and magnetosphere. These measurements will improve
scientists’ understanding of the Earth’s magnetic-field structure, evolution and interaction
with the solar wind.

France’s leadership in scalar
magnetometry from space
The magnetometers will collect simultaneous
measurements of the magnetic field from the
satellites’ orbiting positions 462 and 510 kilometers above Earth. For Leti, the November launch
was followed by a four-month ASM in-flight commissioning phase, and on-going calibration of the
instruments and validation of the products.
CNES, which is responsible for shaping and implementing France’s space policy in Europe, commissioned Leti to produce the ASMs. It also worked
closely with Leti throughout their development,
primarily to guarantee high-quality manufacturing processes, ensure that performance could be
reproduced on the different flight models, and
verify the aptitude of the many innovative technologies in these instruments to resist conditions in space for the mission lifetime.
The unequalled performance of these new
instruments reinforces France’s leadership in
scalar magnetometry from space.

Planning for a major upgrade of the LHCb experiment in 2018, CERN invited Leti and other institutes to submit offers to supply silicon microfluidic devices used as demonstrators for
cooling the LHCb Vertex Locator (Velo) detectors
in CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
The project objective was to demonstrate for the
first time in the field of high-energy physics (HEP)
the possibility of using silicon microfluidic devices
for thermal management of silicon pixel detectors
and their read-out electronics in LHC experiments.
Exceeding expectations
After Leti was selected to supply the microfluidic devices, CERN provided an initial fabrication process-flow based on which experts in Leti’s
Silicon Specialty Solutions (Leti-3S) program implemented their own flow with their expertise in
silicon processing, strictly following our technical
specifications for the deliverables (which worked
beyond expectations).
30
(b)
In 2013, Leti’s microfluidic devices demonstrated
the feasibility of an active silicon on-detector
cooling system for the upgrade of the Velo detectors. The detectors are cooled with evaporative
CO2, which requires the microchannels to hold
internal pressures in the order of 150 bars. The Leti
devices were successfully tested up to 700 bars
with no failure.
In 2014, Leti will provide silicon devices for ondetector thermal management in other HEP experiments at CERN. These devices are similar to
those provided for the demonstration, but with a
much more complex configuration and fabrication
flow at Leti.
The Leti-3S team has consistently provided microfluidic devices of outstanding quality, as well as
a great working atmosphere. The transparency of
their operations is of utmost importance for me as
the contact between micro-fabrication foundries
and CERN’s international collaborations.

Primo1D: a smart startup
Dominique Vicard
dominique.vicard@primo1d.com
Launched by Leti last summer, Primo1D makes solutions for integrating
electronics in materials and objects. Its first product is E-Thread® yarn,
which includes RFID tags. E-Thread® is an innovative microelectronic
packaging technology that allows the direct connection of a chip to
a set of two conductors, which can provide the functions of antenna,
power and/or data bus. This allows a 10x improvement in size, assembly
time and reliability compared to classic microelectronic packaging.
The E-Thread® assembly can be incorporated inside a yarn and used
by the textile and plastic industries using standard production tools.
Electronics such as LEDs, RFIDs and sensors can then be truly integrated
in materials and objects.
Bpifrance, the French public investment bank, gave Primo1D a technologydevelopment award of €400,000 in 2013.
See Award and Honors, page 33.

a next-generation mobile point-of-care (POC) device. Avalun targets
the multi-billion-euro global market of mobile biology devices that allow
monitoring patients at home or during an emergency situation away from
a healthcare facility.
Using the same imaging components as a smartphone to create a fully
integrated miniature microscope, LabPad® is a minilab that can perform
many tests on the same device, such as blood coagulation, glucose
or cholesterol. A patient just needs to insert the appropriate microcuvette in the device, draw a droplet of blood from his finger and deposit
it on the micro-cuvette.
Designed for e-health applications, LabPad® also is a communication
device that strengthens the link between patients and healthcare
professionals.
LabPad technology was developed in Leti’s Department of Microtechnology
for Biology and Health (DTBS), at the boundary between physics, instrumentation, microfluidics, and biochemistry.

www.isketchnote.com/
ISKN, the first Leti startup to use crowdfunding, launched its smart
cover for iPad with iSketchnote App in a Kickstarter program in the fall.
The initial goal of $35,000 was reached in less than 14 hours, and altogether the company raised $346,127 from 2,395 global backers.
ISKN’s technology is based on Leti’s expertise in field magnetometry
and signal processing, especially developments in motion 3D controllers.
ISKN Slate is an innovative, perceptive surface that combines the
natural experience of familiar tools with the power of digital technology.
The first application, iSketchnote App, allows users to digitize their
sketches and notes in real time, and keep a hard copy for their files.
The patented technology will be integrated into many new devices and
used for multiple applications and markets, such as 3D animation and
gaming.

Power semiconductors with GaN
materials from Soitec
Exagan is developing power semiconductor transistors based on gallium
nitride (GaN) materials from Soitec. They will be used to make a highly
efficient electrical conversion system (AC/DC, DC/DC, DC/AC) for solar
panel inverters, automotive electronics, power supplies, and industrial
applications.
This GaN high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) technology is a
disruption of existing silicon transistor technologies, because it enables
higher-frequency system operation for high-voltage (600-1,200V) and
high-current (10-100A) regimes.
In addition to transferring Soitec’s technology in 200mm on Leti’s epitaxy reactor, the collaboration demonstrated the first GaN-based, 600V
transistors at 200mm.
Leti is finalizing development of the transistor process and a first design
will be industrialized by Exagan starting in 2014.
A common lab will be established to develop new and innovative transistor designs, as well as acquire fundamental knowledge of this new
material physics and master the physical mechanisms for high levels of
reliability.
ISKN will deliver its first smart cover for iPad with ISKN Slate and
iSketchnote App this summer and prepare the next step with impressive
3D features.

Ex perimentation
through use
Open innovation by usage
emerged from the observation that it is rare for any one
organization to possess all the
skills required to address the
complex problems encountered
in fields such as the environment, energy, health, or transportation.
It is in this respect that open
innovation by usage, based
on exchanging and sharing
knowledge among people from
different backgrounds, proves
particularly useful.
Bringing together specialists
from diverse fields helps to
grasp and deal with multifaceted topics. During times of
economic crisis, it works to
pool resources and ideas to
both cut costs and improve
efficiency.
Drawing on this constructive
competition and related ideas,
open inn ovat ion by u sage
works towards achieving Leti’s
goals for innovation by:
searching for new applications suited to technology
transfer
predicting, experimenting
with and testing future uses
and practices ahead of technology development, and
considering issues from the
joint perspective of business
units and partners.
This success has led to support
for the creation of the Open Innovation Center on Grenoble’s
scientific peninsula.

industrial leadership and employment in France and Europe.
Together, the 34 Carnot institutes
represent 15% of France’s public
research workforce and carry out
50% of all public R&D contracts
financed by industry.
They cover a very wide range of
fields* serving all the major business sectors. Their industrial partners include large corporations,
medium-sized companies, SMEs,
very small enterprises employing
less than 10 people, and start-up
companies.
The Carnot institutes share a
common charter of professional standards and are capable of
championing them individually and
collectively. The Association des
instituts Carnot or AiCarnot coordinates the Carnot network. Committed to developing research partnerships to best serve industry, the
Carnot institutes can mobilize the
skills and state-of-the-art techno-
logical platforms of the network to
meet their clients’ needs. The Carnot institutes also collaborate with
their European and global counterparts such as the Fraunhofer institutes, TNO, VTT, CSEM, MIT…

of 60 M€ of French state funding
is allocated each year to help the
Carnot institutes invest in research
projects whose aim is to anticipate
future technological needs in their
core subjects. These projects are
carried out with top-notch academic partners world-wide. The resulting patented inventions become
innovative technological solutions
through co-development with
industrial partners. Look for the
Carnot symbol in this document to
identify some of CEA-Leti’s many
key results made possible thanks
to Carnot funding.
Leti was a key player in the FP7
European framework, participating in more than 140 collaborative projects. As a consequence,
CEA Tech and Leti have played
an important role in the structuring bodies in charge of preparing the new H2020 framework.
For example, since 2010 CEA
Tech has chaired the High Level
Group on Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) in charge of
producing recommendations to
strengthen Europe’s capacity
for industrial innovation and the
development of new products
and services needed to deliver
smart, sustainable, and inclusive European growth.
Moreover, through the ENIAC
public-private nanoelectronics
partnership, Leti has contributed to the preparation of a Joint
Technology Initiative bringing
together the EU and member
states in Electronic Components & Systems (ECSEL); the
new ENIAC project, PLACES2BE,
is a good example of the implementation of the KETs strategy
in nanoelectronics.
