Jean-Marc Chery, President, and CEO of ST Microelectronics, recently participated in a keynote moderated by the CEO of Leti during CEA-Leti Innovation Days. Chery noted the continuing growth of high tech Fully Depleted Silicon On Insulator (FD-SOI), which is a planar process technology, provides reduced silicon geometries without complicating the manufacturing process.

ST Micro is also active in the embedded AI space, especially in edge computing. The company is also involved in optical sensing technology and automotive application, especially in developing power GaNs. The next steps will include work on RF to meet 5G challenges.

AI-enhanced edge computing has been a key technology for Leti. In 2019, the institute announced an essential European AI collaboration with the Microelectronics Institute within Germany's Fraunhofer Society. The two institutes' work toward edge-AI systems is building up Leti's strength in FD-SOI chip design and the expertise of both Fraunhofer and Leti in 3D packaging. There is also the likelihood that it will draw upon finFET architectural research by another EU R&D powerhouse, Belgium's Imec.
