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: 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 method of manufacturing an electronic chip includes the following successive steps: a) forming of a first layer on top of and in contact with a second semiconductor layer, the second layer being on top of and in contact with a third semiconductor layer; b) doping of the first layer to form, on the second layer, a first doped sub-layer of the first conductivity type and a second doped sub-layer of the second conductivity type; c) forming of islands in the first layer organized in an array of rows and of columns at the surface of the second layer; and d) forming of memory cells based on a phase-change material on the islands of the first layer.

Abstract: An electronic chip includes at least a first array of first elementary cells and a second array of second elementary cells. The first and second elementary cells form two types of phase change memory having a storage element formed by a volume of phase change material having either a crystalline state or an amorphous state depending on the bit stored. Each first elementary cell includes a volume of a first phase change material, and each second elementary cell includes a volume of a second phase change material that is different from the first material. Each elementary cell includes a heating connector configured for the passage of a heating current adapted to cause a phase change of the volume of phase change material of the elementary cell.

Abstract: Longitudinal trenches extend between and on either side of first and second side-by-side strips. Transverse trenches extend from one edge to another edge of the first strip to define tensilely strained semiconductor slabs in the first strip, with the second strip including portions that are compressively strained in the longitudinal direction and/or tensilely strained in the transverse direction. In the first strip, N-channel MOS transistors are located inside and on top of the semiconductor slabs. In the second strip, P-channel MOS transistors are located inside and on top of the portions.
