Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a substrate with an active area, a first insulating layer, a second insulating layer, and a phase-change material. The integrated circuit further includes a heating element in an L-shape, with a long side in direct physical contact with the phase-change material and a short side in direct physical contact with a via. The heating element is surrounded by first, second, and third insulating spacers, with the first insulating spacer having a planar first sidewall in contact with the long side of the heating element, a convex second sidewall, and a planar bottom face in contact with the short side of the heating element. The second and third insulating spacers are in direct contact with the first insulating spacer and the long side of the heating element.

Abstract: A MOS transistor including a substrate, a conductive having lateral walls, drain and source regions, and spacers having an upper surface such that the spacers are buried in the substrate and are position between the conductive gate and the drain and source regions is provided. The spacers are each cuboid-shaped and have a width that is constant along the spacers height and independent from a height of the conductive gate. A device including the MOS transistor and a method of manufacture for producing a right-hand portion and a left-hand portion of a MOS transistor is also provided.

Abstract: According to one aspect, a system-on-a-chip is proposed which includes a memory storage, a computation circuit, a comparison circuit, and a validation circuit. The memory storage is configured to store an external software module. The computation circuit is configured to compute several modified software modules from the external software module and compute check values by iteration until obtaining a final check value. Each check value is computed at least from a given modified software module and a check value previously computed, starting with a predefined initial check value. The comparison circuit is configured to compare the final check value to an expected value stored in the system-on-a-chip. The validation circuit is configured to validate the external software module when the final check value is equal to the expected value.

Abstract: A triple-gate MOS transistor is manufactured in a semiconductor substrate including at least one active region laterally surrounded by electrically isolating regions. Trenches are etched on either side of an area of the active region configured to form a channel for the transistor. An electrically isolating layer is deposited on an internal surface of each of the trenches. Each of the trenches is then filled with a semiconductive or electrically conductive material up to an upper surface of the active region so as to form respective vertical gates on opposite sides of the channel. An electrically isolating layer is then deposited on the upper surface of the area of the active region at the channel of the transistor. At least one semiconductive or electrically conductive material then deposited on the electrically isolating layer formed at the upper surface of the active region to form a horizontal gate of the transistor.

Abstract: A system-on-chip includes a processor, a memory and a memory interface coupled to the processor and to the memory. The processor, in operation, generates memory access requests. The memory includes one or more physical banks divided into a succession of sectors, each sector having a size equal to a smallest erasable size of the memory. The memory interface, in operation, responds to receiving memory configuration information by storing logical memory bank configuration information in the one or more configuration registers, the logical memory bank configuration information assigning each sector of the one or more physical banks of the memory to a respective logical memory bank of one or more logical memory banks. The memory interface, in operation, controls access to the memory by the processor based on the logical memory bank configuration information stored in the one or more configuration registers.
