If your company is located in France, and/or is involved in micro and nanotechnologies for microelectronics, chances are it’s either a spin out of Leti, its parent organization CEA, or is closely tied in ongoing collaboration to this major European research center for applied electronics. At least that is the impression I came away with after visiting Leti at its Minatec campus in Grenoble, France, as well as four other companies (Alchimer, Soitec, Replisaurus/S.E.T. Read More>>

It’s not often that a company gets a do-over. Tegal France is one of the lucky ones. In fact, when Nicolas Launay, R&D director and general manager, referred to the company as a start-up, I did a double-take. Didn’t a company have to be VC-funded, and brand-new to be considered a start-up? Read More>>

In an understated research lab and recently upgraded demo facility located just outside Paris in Massy, France, Alchimer scientists are working diligently to prove the readiness of an elegant and innovative electrochemical-based process for the growth of nanometric thin films of various types on both conducting and semiconducting surfaces. The technology has the potential to revolutionize process integration and cost models for 3D TSVs. Read More>>

A walk across the impressive Bernin, France campus that is home to two of Soitec Group’s three divisions takes you past three production-level fab facilities – aptly named Bernin 1, Bernin 2, and Bernin 3, plus a development facility. The company’s three-stage business model encompasses innovation, licensing, and production to allow for seamless transfer of full technology and process control to customers as a turnkey solution.
