Abstract: The disclosure relates to integrated circuits and methods including one or more rows of transistors. In an embodiment, an integrated circuit includes a row of bipolar transistors including a plurality of first conduction regions, a second conduction region, and a common base between the first conduction regions and the second conduction region. An insulating trench is in contact with each bipolar transistor of the row of bipolar transistors. A conductive layer is on the insulating trench and the common base between the first conduction regions. A spacer layer is between the conductive layer and the first conduction regions.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a phase-change memory manufacturing method and a phase-change memory device. The method includes forming a first insulating layer in cavities located vertically in line with strips of phase-change material, and anisotropically etching the portions of the first insulating layer located at the bottom of the cavities; and a phase-change memory device including a first insulating layer against lateral walls of cavities located vertically in line with strips of phase-change material.

Abstract: A oxide-based direct-access resistive nonvolatile memory may include within the interconnect portion of the integrated circuit a memory plane including capacitive memory cells extending in orthogonal first and second directions and each including a first electrode, a dielectric region and a second electrode. The memory plane may include conductive pads of square or rectangular shape forming the first electrodes. The stack of the dielectric layer and the second conductive layer covers the pads in the first direction and forms, in the second direction, conductive bands extending over and between the pads. The second electrodes may be formed by zones of the second bands facing the pads.

Abstract: An electronic integrated circuit chip includes a first transistor arranged inside and on top of a solid substrate, a second transistor arranged inside and on top of a layer of semiconductor material on insulator having a first thickness, and a third transistor arranged inside and on top of a layer of semiconductor material on insulator having a second thickness. The second thickness is greater than the first thickness. The solid substrate extends underneath the layers of semiconductor material and is insulated from those layers by the insulator.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns a resistive memory cell, including a stack of a selector, of a resistive element, and of a layer of phase-change material, the selector having no physical contact with the phase-change material. In one embodiment, the selector is an ovonic threshold switch formed on a conductive track of a metallization level.

Abstract: Memory devices such as phase change memory (PCM) devices utilizing Ovonic Threshold Switching (OTS) selectors may be used to fill the gap between dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) and mass storage and may be incorporated in high-end microcontrollers. Since the programming efficiency and reading phase efficiency of such devices is directly linked to the leakage current of the OTS selector as well as sneak-path management, a sense amplifier disclosed herein generates an auto-reference that takes into account the leakage currents of unselected cells and includes a regulation loop to compensate for voltage drop due to read current sensing. This auto-referenced sense amplifier, built utilizing the principle of charge-sharing, may be designed on a 28 nm fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FDSOI) technology, provides robust performance for a wide range of sneak-path currents and consequently for a large range of memory array sizes, and is therefore suitable for use in embedded memory in high-end microcontroller.

Abstract: A memory transistor for a non-volatile memory cell includes a source region and a drain region implanted in a semiconductor substrate. The source region is spaced from the drain region. A double gate region for the memory transistor extends at least partly in depth in the semiconductor substrate between the source region and the drain region and further extends beyond this source region and this drain region. The memory cell further includes a selection transistor having a gate region that partially extends over the double gate region for the memory transistor.
