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: Bipolar transistors and MOS transistors are formed in a common process. A semiconductor layer is arranged on an insulating layer. On a side of the bipolar transistors: an insulating region including the insulating layer is formed; openings are etched through the insulating region to delimit insulating walls; the openings are filled with first epitaxial portions; and the first epitaxial portions and a first region extending under the first epitaxial portions and under the insulating walls are doped. On the side of the bipolar transistors and on a side of the MOS transistors: gate structures are formed; second epitaxial portions are made; and the second epitaxial portions covering the first epitaxial portions are doped.

Abstract: A connecting bar electrically connects separate circuit zones of an integrated circuit. The connecting bar is formed by a main portion that is a conductive strip extending above separate circuit zones to be interconnected. The conductive strip is separated from the integrated circuit by a dielectric except at the circuit zones to be interconnected. The connecting bar further includes secondary portions that are conductive pads passing through the dielectric in a vertical direction from the circuit zone to the conductive strip.
