    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a first domain supplied with power at a first supply voltage. A first transistor comprising in the first domain includes a first gate region and a first gate dielectric region. A second domain is supply with power at a second supply voltage and includes a second transistor having a second gate region and a second gate dielectric region, the second gate region being biased at a voltage that is higher than the first supply voltage. The first and second gate dielectric regions have the same composition, wherein that composition configures the first transistor in a permanently turned off condition in response to a gate bias voltage lower than or equal to the first supply voltage. The second transistor is a floating gate memory cell transistor, with the second gate dielectric region located between the floating and control gates.

    Abstract: A method for detecting a writing error of a datum in memory includes: storing at least two parts of equal size of a binary word representative of said datum at the same address in at least two identical memory circuits, and comparing internal control signals of the two memory circuits to determine existence of the writing error.

    Abstract: An electronic integrated circuit chip includes a semiconductor substrate with a front side and a back side. A first reflective shield is positioned adjacent the front side of the semiconductor substrate and a second reflective shield is positioned adjacent the back side of the semiconductor substrate. Photons are emitted by a photon source to pass through the semiconductor substrate and bounce off the first and second reflective shields to reach a photon detector at the front side of the semiconductor substrate. The detected photons are processed in order to determine whether to issue an alert indicating the existence of an attack on the electronic integrated circuit chip.

    Abstract: A method for detecting a reading error of a datum in memory. A binary word which is representative of the datum and an error correcting or detecting code is read by: reading a first part of the binary word stored at a first address in a first memory circuit; and reading a second part of the binary word stored at a second address in a second memory circuit. The first and second parts read from the first and second memory circuits, respectively, are concatenated to form a read binary word. The datum is then obtained by removing the error correcting or detecting code from the read binary word. A new error correcting or detecting code is calculated from the obtained datum and compared to the removed error correcting or detecting code to detect error in the obtained datum.
