Abstract: An integrated circuit includes at least a first standard cell framed by two second standard cells. The three cells are disposed adjacent to each other, and each standard cell includes at least one NMOS transistor and at least one least one PMOS transistor located in and on a silicon-on-insulator substrate. The at least one PMOS transistor of the first standard cell has a channel including silicon and germanium.

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 disclosure relates to integrated circuits and methods including one or more rows of transistors. In an embodiment, an integrated circuit includes a row of bipolar transistors including a plurality of first conduction regions, a second conduction region, and a common base between the first conduction regions and the second conduction region. An insulating trench is in contact with each bipolar transistor of the row of bipolar transistors. A conductive layer is on the insulating trench and the common base between the first conduction regions. A spacer layer is between the conductive layer and the first conduction regions.

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 integrated circuit includes a substrate with an active area, a first insulating layer, a second insulating layer, and a phase-change material. The integrated circuit further includes a heating element in an L-shape, with a long side in direct physical contact with the phase-change material and a short side in direct physical contact with a via. The heating element is surrounded by first, second, and third insulating spacers, with the first insulating spacer having a planar first sidewall in contact with the long side of the heating element, a convex second sidewall, and a planar bottom face in contact with the short side of the heating element. The second and third insulating spacers are in direct contact with the first insulating spacer and the long side of the heating element.

Abstract: An electronic chip includes memory cells made of a phase-change material and a transistor. First and second vias extend from the transistor through an intermediate insulating layer to a same height. A first metal level including a first interconnection track in contact with the first via is located over the intermediate insulating layer. A heating element for heating the phase-change material is located on the second via, and the phase-change material is located on the heating element. A second metal level including a second interconnection track is located above the phase-change material. A third via extends from the phase-change material to the second interconnection track.
