Abstract: A device includes a number of irreversibly programmable memory points. Each irreversibly programmable memory point includes a first semiconductor zone and a gate located on the first zone. A conductive area defines the gates of the memory points. First and second semiconductor areas are respectively located on either side of a vertical alignment with the conductive area. The first zones are alternately in contact with the first and second areas.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a silicon-on-insulator substrate that includes a semiconductor film located above a buried insulating layer. A first electrode of a silicide material overlies the semiconductor film. A sidewall insulating material is disposed along sidewalls of the first electrode. A dielectric layer is located between the first electrode and the semiconductor film. A second electrode includes a silicided zone of the semiconductor film, which is located alongside the sidewall insulating material and extends at least partially under the dielectric layer and the first electrode. The first electrode, the dielectric layer and the second electrode form a capacitor that is part of a circuit of the integrated circuit.
