Abstract: A memory cell includes a selection transistor having a control gate and a first conduction terminal connected to a variable-resistance element. The memory cell is formed in a wafer comprising a semiconductor substrate covered with a first insulating layer, the insulating layer being covered with an active layer made of a semiconductor. The gate is formed on the active layer and has a lateral flank covered with a second insulating layer. The variable-resistance element includes a first layer covering a lateral flank of the active layer in a trench formed through the active layer along the lateral flank of the gate and reaching the first insulating layer, and a second layer made of a variable-resistance material.

Abstract: A chain of flip-flops is tested by passing a reference signal through the chain. The reference signal is generated from a test pattern that is cyclically fed back at the cadence of a clock signal. The reference signal propagates through the chain of flip-flops at the cadence of the clock signal to output a test signal. A comparison is carried out at the cadence of the clock signal of the test signal and the reference signal, where the reference signal is delayed by a delay time taking into account the number of flip-flops in the chain and the length of the test pattern. An output signal is produced, at the cadence of the clock signal, as a result of the comparison.

Abstract: An integrated electronic device includes a substrate having an opening extending therethrough. The substrate includes an interconnection network, and connections coupled to the interconnection network. The connections are to be fixed on a printed circuit board. An integrated photonic module is electrically connected to the substrate, with a portion of the integrated photonic module in front of or overlapping the opening of the substrate. An integrated electronic module is electrically connected to the photonic module, and extends at least partly into the opening of the substrate. The electronic module and the substrate may be electrically connected onto the same face of the photonic module.

Abstract: A pixel is formed on a semiconductor substrate that includes a photosensitive area having a first doped layer and a charge collection area of a first conductivity type extending through at least part of the first doped layer. At least two charge storage areas, each including a well of the first conductivity type, are separated from the charge collection area at least by a first portion of the first layer. The first portion is covered by a first gate. Each charge storage area is laterally delimited by two insulated conductive electrodes. A second doped layer of the second conductivity type covers the charge collection area and the charge storage areas.

Abstract: A time-of-flight detection pixel includes a photosensitive area including a first doped layer and a charge collection area extending in the first doped layer. At least two charge storage areas extend from the charge collection area, each including a first well more heavily doped than the charge collection area and separated from the charge collection area by a first portion of the first doped layer which is coated with a gate. Each charge storage area is laterally delimited by two insulated conductive electrodes, extending parallel to each other and facing each other. A second heavily doped layer of opposite conductivity coats the pixel except for at each portion of the first doped layer coated with the gate.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a Schottky barrier field-effect transistor is provided. The process includes: providing a structure including a control gate and a semiconductive layer positioned under the gate and having protrusions that protrude laterally with respect to the gate; anisotropically etching at least one of the protrusions by using the control gate as a mask, so as to form a recess in this protrusion, this recess defining a lateral face of the semiconductive layer; depositing a layer of insulator on the lateral face of the semiconductive layer; and depositing a metal in the recess on the layer of insulator so as to form a contact of metal/insulator/semiconductor type between the deposit of metal and the lateral face of the semiconductive layer.

Abstract: A substrate of the silicon on insulator type includes a semi-conducting film disposed on a buried insulating layer which is disposed on an unstressed silicon support substrate. The semi-conducting film includes a first film zone of tensile-stressed silicon and a second film zone of tensile-relaxed silicon. Openings through the buried insulating layer permit access to the unstressed silicon support substrate under the first and second film zones. An N channel transistor is formed from the first film zone and a P channel transistor is formed from the second film zone. The second film zone may comprise germanium enriched silicon forming a compressive-stressed region.
