CEA Nanoelectronics and micro-and nanosystems Infrastructure

France: Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Overview

The semiconductor fabrication infrastructure of CEA is composed of two major installations operating on 12 inch and 8 inch wafer sizes. The 12" nanoelectronics platform develops advanced transistors, integrated circuits and non-volatile memory. It is also where FD-SOI—today used to mass-produce chips worldwide—was born. The platform also conducts 3D integration R&D.

 

Activities encompass simulation, technology development, demonstrators and prototyping, advanced characterization and reliability testing. The platform can also conduct short-loop, proof-of-concept testing with wafer manufacturing sites. Foundries, fabless manufacturers, integrators, and materials and equipment manufacturing partners of the platform benefit from high-added-value modules offering excellent energy consumption, speed and frequency. This is ideal for the microcontrollers used in the automotive and medical industries and for smart cards among many other applications. The platform is one of the world’s top five 300 mm… The platform houses more than 200 primary front-end manufacturing tools covering the complete range of processing requirements. Exceptionally noteworthy is the availability of a high-end tool set and advanced know-how in e-beam lithography, a potential alternative to optical lithography in achieving ultimate resolution.
