Leti and KIST to explore vital technologies

A collaboration has been agreed between CEA-Leti and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) to jointly explore a variety of technologies, including monolithic 3D, neuromorphic architectures, non-volatile 3D memory, spintronics and ultra-low power semiconductors.

“Like Leti, KIST has helped set the standards for government supported research institutes for 50 years,” said Leti CEO Marie Semeria, pictured. “This agreement reflects that we have identified numerous vital technology fields that must be developed to make industry more productive, companies more innovative and society more responsive to people in many aspects of their lives.”

The five-year joint project will focus on creating a broad network to foster international collaboration on ultra-low power semiconductors, which both institutes agree will be required to power the ever increasing spread of digital devices and the Internet of Things.
