Clarivate has released its Top 100 Global Innovators 2025, recognizing organizations that demonstrate consistency and influence in innovation. This year, CEA ranks 30th globally, moving up one place from last year’s 31st position.
CEA-Leti startup iNGage is developing low-cost, high-performance, miniaturized Inertial Measurement Units. The company's innovative approach is the product of fifteen years' research in micro and nanoelectronics.
A key issue for national sovereignty, microfluidic technology now boasts a dedicated subsidiary in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The initiative is driven by CEA-Leti and plasturgy company Infiplast, who are pooling their expertise to create a shared platform for the industrial scaling-up of microfluidic chips.
As the demand for smaller, more powerful chips continues to grow, researcher-engineers face new challenges in ensuring high performance and precision. One of the key innovations enabling this evolution is the backside power delivery network, a cutting-edge approach that optimizes space and efficiency by separating power and signal circuits across different layers of transistors.
CEA-Leti startup, nawu diagnostics, is developing a portable, autonomous solution to analyze pathogens in the air expelled by farm animals. The device offers rapid diagnostics of respiratory pathogens so that the appropriate treatment can be identified as quickly as possible, and thus prevent an epidemic.
France 2030 has announced its support for the ImaSpiiR-X consortium, providing €18.2 million in funding over 60 months to move from black-and-white X-ray medical imaging (which displays only tissue density) to full-colour spectral imaging (capable of identifying tissue composition). To achieve this, the consortium will develop next-generation flat-panel detectors that will provide enriched digital radiographic images, along with advanced analysis algorithms.
The project team led by Karine Abadie, a bonding process engineer, and Ivanie Mendes, a lithography process engineer, was recognized with a 'Best Paper Award' at IITC. This international conference is dedicated to interconnects and BEOL¹/MEOL² metallization in microelectronics. In collaboration with industrial partners ASML and EVG, the research team developed an innovative metrology method to better understand the stress induced by the bonding step in silicon wafer and its impact in lithography.
