An integrated circuit and method for manufacturing an integrated circuit are described. In one embodiment, the integrated circuit includes a memory cell that includes a resistivity changing memory element. The resistivity changing memory element is electrically coupled to a select transistor that includes a FinFET including a source, a drain, and a fin structure formed above a surface of a substrate between the source and the drain. The fin structure includes a channel area extending in a direction substantially parallel to the surface of the substrate, and a dielectric layer formed around at least a portion of the channel area such that an effective channel width of the select transistor depends at least in part on a height of the fin structure.

A description is given of a method for charge reversal of a circuit part of an integrated circuit from a first electrical potential to a second electrical potential of a first voltage network. In this case, the circuit part is connected to the first voltage network for charge reversal. Furthermore, the circuit part is connected to a second voltage network for charge reversal, said second voltage network providing a third electrical potential between the first and the second electrical potential. The circuit part is automatically isolated from the second voltage network before its electrical potential reaches the second electrical potential.

Integrated circuits including a buried wiring lien. One embodiment provides a field effect transistor including a first active area and a gate electrode buried below a main surface of a semiconductor substrate. A gate wiring line may be buried below the main surface and a section of the gate wiring line may form the gate electrode. Above the gate wiring line, a buried contact structure is formed that is adjacent to and in direct contact with the first or a second active area.

Embodiments of the invention are related to methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for transferring data between two devices using an interconnect bus. On each conductive line of the bus, a bit representing a first logic state is transferred if a current bit is the same as an immediately previously transmitted bit. If the current bit is different from the immediately previously transmitted bit, then a bit representing a second logic state is transferred.

The present invention provides an apparatus having stacked semiconductor components. Two semiconductor components (21, 26) are arranged such that their contact regions (28, 22) are opposite one another. A contact-connection device (29) forms a short electrical connection between the two contact regions (28, 22). The contact regions (28, 22) are connected to external contact regions (36) of the apparatus via a rewiring (23).

An integrated circuit includes: a resistive memory having an array of resistive memory cells; a memory controller that controls operation of the resistive memory in accordance with external commands from an external device; and a memory scheduler coupled to the resistive memory and to the memory controller. The memory scheduler schedules internal maintenance operations within the resistive memory in response to trigger conditions indicated by at least one sensor signal or external command. The operation of the memory scheduler and performance of the internal maintenance operations are transparent to the external device and, optionally, transparent to the memory controller.
