Present and Previous Positions
- 2018 - present Chief scientist and VP research at CEA LETI with responsibility for long term research strategy and partnerships
- 2022 - 2027 National co-leader of the French Electronics Program that includes all french reasearch institues in his fields
- 2002 - 2007 within CEA-Leti within Crolles Alliance (STMicro, Freescale, Philips) to develop Multichannel transistor
- Developed SiGe and Ge transistors and then multichannel GAA transistors
- Demonstrated first PMOS Ge transistor with high-k metal metal gate co-integrated with strain-Si NMOS (published @ IEDM 2005
- Developpement of Strained SOI technology in collaboration with SOITEC (published @ Solid State electronics 2004)
- Main achievement was the first demontration of functionnal multichannel GAA transistor (IEDM 2006) now introduced in industry for 2-3nm advanced CMOS
- 1997-2000 Research contract at SMicroelectronics during my PhD (at CNRS). Evaluation for STM the potential of FD-SOI under the supervision of Prof. Cristoloveanu (Fellow IEEE). Best paper award (IEEE SOI conference)with first characterisation of 3nm thick SOI transistor. His models and evaluation continue to be valid today and FDSOI produced now by STMicro in and Global Founderies in Dresden
- 2000 Began at CEA-Leti to develop SiGe and Ge transistor.
