STMicroelectronics, Clonit, and Institute Spallanzani Develop Accurate Point-of-Care Analyzer for Early Ebola Detection

December 12, 2014

Rome, Italy, December 10, 2014 – Driven by the ambitious objective to quickly detect the Ebola virus in the blood at a very early stage to minimize further transmission, STMicroelectronics and Clonit, in collaboration with Italy’s National Institute for Infectious Diseases Lazzaro Spallanzani, have developed, in a few weeks’ time, a prototype portable analyzer able to identify the presence of the Ebola virus in less than 75 minutes.

The portable analyzer is based on the Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) molecular biology technique. The next step in development of the analyzer is to optimize the point-of-care Ebola-detection solution for large-scale … Read More → "STMicroelectronics, Clonit, and Institute Spallanzani Develop Accurate Point-of-Care Analyzer for Early Ebola Detection"

Leti Will Discuss CoolCubeTM Technology for 3D Transistor Stacking At Workshop Preceding IEDM 2014

December 12, 2014

GRENOBLE, France – Dec. 11, 2014 – CEA-Leti will present its latest results on CoolCube™, the technique for stacking transistors sequentially in the same process flow for 3D-VLSI, at a Dec. 14 workshop in San Francisco, Calif. The workshop precedes IEDM 2014, Dec. 15-17.

“The technology is designed to allow a connection of the stacked active layers on a nanometric scale, with a very high density, due to their alignment by a standard lithographic process,” said Maud Vinet, Leti’s advanced CMOS laboratory manager, who will give the presentation. “This 3D concept should allow a gain of 50 percent in area and 30 percent in … Read More → "Leti Will Discuss CoolCubeTM Technology for 3D Transistor Stacking At Workshop Preceding IEDM 2014"
