CEA-Leti Joins III-V Lab

In France, in a move to strengthen the industrial research capabilities of the III-V Lab in Marcoussis, CEA-Leti of Grenoble, a research and technology organization, will join the center. Established by Alcatel-Lucent of Paris and Thales of Neuilly-sur-Seine in 2004, the center, a public-private partnership, will combine III-V semiconductor and silicon technologies, opening up research perspectives and dynamics. The enlarged lab will include more than 130 researchers, technicians and doctoral candidates, leveraging the silicon, microelectronics and heterogeneous integration of the three companies. These include the III-V components on silicon CMOS integrated circuits and the development of smarter, smaller components heterogeneously integrating active III-V components with silicon circuits and microsystems.
