The OCEAN12 project is developing an innovative FDSOI platform in response to the strategic challenges of smart mobility. Overall, the project involves setting up an advanced SOI pilot line, defining FDSOI pathfinding solutions to push performance,developing innovative designs and manufacturing high performance ICs.
The aim of the HELIAUS project is to develop a reliable system that upgrades existing perception systems (incorporating only visible imaging, LIDAR and RADAR detection) by adding thermal vision inside and outside the vehicle passenger compartment in all light and weather conditions.
The VIZTA project objectives are to develop innovative technologies in the field of optical sensors and laser sources for short- to long-range 3D-imaging and to demonstrate their value in several key applications in the automotive, security, smart building, mobile robotics for smart cities and Industry 4.0 sectors.
The aim of the WAKeMeUp project is to set up a complete manufacturing platform for non-volatile embedded Phase Change Memories. This disruptive memory technology will be embedded on 28nm FDSOI logic for a new generation of microcontrollers.
CEA-Leti's cornerstone research on silicon carbide substrates initially gained traction in 2019 with Soitec on booming demand from the electric vehicle market and a scarcity of monocrystalline silicon. Today, with four presentations at ICSCRM 2023 showcasing pioneering advances in transferred silicon carbide substrates for electronics and photonics, CEA-Leti continues to lead the way in silicon carbide and thin film transfer technologies.

The European InSecTT project focuses on the security of embedded AI. As a partner in this three-year project, CEA-Leti developed innovative solutions to authenticate intelligent systems and protect them from various cyberattacks. These advances coincide with the promulgation of the European AI Act.
Gaël Pillonnet, a seasoned energy conversion expert at CEA-Leti, has come up with an ingenious solution that significantly reduces the energy consumption of traditional transistors, albeit at a slower computation speed. This opens up a host of possibilities for achieving energy efficiency and computational performance, especially in edge computing.
The IEEE, the largest international professional association devoted to electricity and electronics, has recognized the achievements of Olivier Faynot, the Director of CEA-Leti's Silicon Components Department, for his exceptional achievements with advanced CMOS components.
CEA-Leti combined its hardware and software expertise to investigate the benefits of new signal processing approaches to conventional Time-of-Flight (ToF) histogram acquisition schemes. Among the techniques developed are compressive sensing and expectation-maximization algorithms. Both turned out to be promising avenues for reducing hardware design constraints in active direct ToF 3D imaging based on SPAD pixels.
A specialist in ultra-miniature rechargeable batteries for medical devices, the startup is acquiring an industrial site 15 km from CEA-Leti. It will ultimately employ 50 people. Volume manufacturing is to begin late 2026.
Engaging Multiple EU Partners, the Projects Will Apply Intelligent Sensing and AI-Enabled Learning Technologies.
Developing new methods to extract encrypted data from cell phones and assist with criminality or terrorism matters: such was the purpose of the European ExFiles project, which was under the technical coordination of CEA-Leti from 2020 to 2023. The European Commission described the results as ‘very positive’.
CEA-Leti and the startup Kineis recently developed ultra-miniaturized antennas that significantly improve communication between earth-based objects and satellites. These improvements include lower power consumption and costs, improved reception of messages and an insensitivity to an equipment’s orientation. These advances open the door to low-cost radio links that could be accessible around the globe.
Four years after launch, the CEA-Leti start-up Wormsensing has invested in a production line capable of manufacturing two million vibration sensors per year. Enough to win volume orders from customers in the energy, automotive, healthcare and manufacturing sectors.
After earning a Materials Engineering diploma from INSA Lyon, Jules Tillement did a final internship in a research laboratory specializing in image sensors. He was then recruited to pursue a doctorate at STMicroelectronics, in partnership with CEA-Leti.
When operated at high frequencies, certain piezoelectric materials display exceptional quality factors and power densities. CEA-Leti and an academic research partner have been investigating how to bring these remarkable properties to power conversion in the form of a new inductor-free power converter concept based on mechanical, rather than magnetic, energy storage.
The photonixFAB project aims to empower photonics innovation by SMEs and large entities by providing low barrier access to both low-loss silicon nitride (SiN) and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) based photonics platforms with indium phosphide (InP) and lithium niobate (LNO) heterogenous integration capabilities.
