The CEA-Leti and Lille-based start-up Menapica specialist in thin-film characterization, have signed a joint development agreement for the application of APiC (Acoustique Picoseconde Colorée) technology from Menapic materials analysis. This technology is based on the principle of sonar, but applied on a nanoscale: a laser source is used to generate acoustic waves inside the various layers of the film (up to 10 layers). By analyzing the propagation of these waves, it is possible to characterize each layer, including its thickness (from a few nanometers to a few micrometers) and
its elastic properties.
