"We believe we cannot solve these problems in isolation, and so itis important to collaborate with customers in the Grenobleprogramme," said Saint-Paul. According to Saint-Paul, the French government wants to create asemiconductor cluster. "It is a very aggressive approach to semiconductor research, theFrench government wants to see tangible results," he said. "For us we see it as an opportunity to work closely with ST andCEA-Leti on 3D ICsand silicon photonics," said Saint-Paul. He said that Mentor had been collaborating with ST since 2007in theNano2012 project based at the Crolles semiconductor facility. That project ends this year and Saint-Paul said the new programmewill build on this work of this collaboration in France. The IRT s 3D IC programme will incorporate chip design, processtechnologies and design tools. On-chip communications and sensors technologies will be a focus ofthe silicon-photonics R&D work at the IRT. According to Saint-Paul, although the creation of the cluster inGrenoble is a 10-year project, he expected commercial results fromthe work in "3-year cycles". There are still many technical challenges to be met beforesuccessfully achieving photonic functions on a silicon circuit:providing CAD design tools, developing specific components likelaser sources, optical modulators, wide bandwidth photo-detectors,passive waveguides, wavelength multiplexers and demultiplexers. "Thanks to the NanoElec IRT, we can work together to acceleratedevelopments and open the applications field," said PhilippeMagarshack, STMicroelectronics v-p, Design Enablement &Services. "I am delighted with the collaboration with Mentor Graphics, whoseexpertise in computer-aided design (CAD) tools will be able to makeCEA-Leti and STMicroelectronics s advanced technologicalachievements better available to systems and applicationsdesigners" said Laurent Malier, CEO of CEA-Leti. The NanoElec IRT is supported by CEA-Leti in partnership withmanufacturers such as STMicroelectronics, Mentor Graphics, Soitec,Schneider, STEricsson, Bouygues, Presto Engineering and INEO, theMinalogic international competitive cluster, the Grenoble INPInstitute of Technology teaching and research school, the GrenobleEcole de Management school, the Joseph Fourier university, theINRIA (National Institute for Research in Computer Science andControl), the CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research), theLaue Langevin Institute, and the ESRF (European SynchrotronRadiation Facility). www.leti.fr.
