    Abstract: A method for controlling an IC having logic cells and a clock-tree cell. Each logic cell has first and second FETs, which are pMOS and nMOS respectively. The clock-tree cell includes third and fourth FETs, which are pMOS and nMOS respectively. The clock-tree cell provides a clock signal to the logic cells. A back gate potential difference (“BGPD”) of a pMOS-FET is a difference between its source potential less its back-gate potential, and vice versa for an nMOS-FET. The method includes applying first and second back gate potential difference (BGPD) to a logic cell's first and second FETs and either applying a third BGPD to a third FET, wherein the third BGPD is positive and greater than the first BGPD applied, which is applied concurrently, or applying a fourth BGEPD to a fourth FET, wherein the fourth BGPD is positive and greater than the second BGPD that is applied concurrently.

    Abstract: A photonic integrated circuit includes a first insulating region encapsulating at least one metallization level, a second insulating region at least partially encapsulating a gain medium of a laser source, and a stacked structure placed between the two insulating regions. The stacked structure includes a first polycrystalline or single-crystal silicon layer, a second polycrystalline or single-crystal silicon layer, an intermediate layer optically compatible with the wavelength of the laser source and selectively etchable relative to silicon and that separates the first layer from a first portion of the second layer, and the gain medium facing at least one portion of the first layer. The first layer, the intermediate layer, and the first portion of the second layer form an assembly containing a resonant cavity and a waveguide, which are optically coupled to the gain medium, and a second portion of the second layer containing at least one other photonic component.
