Abstract: A pixel includes a first electrode layer on an exposed surface of an interconnection structure and in contact with a conductive element of the interconnection structure. An insulating layer extends over the first electrode layer and includes opening crossing through the insulating layer to the first electrode layer. A second electrode layer is on top of and in contact with the first electrode layer and the insulating layer in the opening. A film configured to convert photons into electron-hole pairs is on the insulating layer, the second electrode layer and filling the opening. A third electrode layer covers the film.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an electronic chip includes providing a semiconductor layer located on an insulator covering a semiconductor substrate. First and second portions of the semiconductor layer are oxidized up to the insulator. Stresses are generated in third portions of the semiconductor layer, and each of the third portions extend between two portions of the semiconductor layer that are oxidized. Cavities are formed which extend at least to the substrate through the second portions and the insulator. Bipolar transistors are formed in at least part of the cavities and first field effect transistors are formed in and on the third portions. Phase change memory points are coupled to the bipolar transistors.

Abstract: A sensor includes pixels supported by a substrate doped with a first conductivity type. Each pixel includes a portion of the substrate delimited by a vertical insulation structure with an image sensing assembly and a depth sensing assembly. The image sensing assembly includes a first region of the substrate more heavily doped with the first conductivity type and a first vertical transfer gate completely laterally surrounding the first region. Each of the depth sensing assemblies includes a second region of the substrate more heavily doped with the first conductivity type a second vertical transfer gate opposite a corresponding portion of the first vertical transfer gate. The second region is arranged between the second vertical transfer gate and the corresponding portion of the first vertical transfer gate.

Abstract: A method for operating a sense amplifier in a one-switch one-resistance (1S1R) memory array, includes: generating a regulated full voltage and a regulated half voltage; applying the regulated full voltage and regulated half voltage to selected and unselected bit lines of the 1S1R memory array during read operations as an applied read voltage; and inducing and compensating for a sneak-path current during read operations by adjusting the applied read voltage based on the cell state of an accessed bit cell and an amplitude of the sneak-path current.

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.
