    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate having one or more active regions and a power rail located in an isolation trench in the semiconductor device. The active region extends further from the substrate than the power rail. The semiconductor device further includes one or more source/drain (S/D) contacts having a top wall extending along a surface of the active region facing away from the substrate and a side wall extending along a surface of the active region on the same side as the power rail but farther from the substrate. The semiconductor device includes a via trench adjacent to the side wall. The trench includes a via which is on a first side in electrical contact with a surface of power rail facing away from substrate. On another side, perpendicular to first side, the via is conformal to and in electrical contact with the side wall of the S/D contact.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a device comprising at least one delay line for applying a variable delay to a clock signal and a controller for controlling the variable delay of the delay line. Each delay line comprises a plurality of concatenated delay banks which provide different delay values with respect to each other, a bypass parallel over each of said delay banks, and switching elements associated with each of said delay banks for selecting either the respective delay bank or the respective bypass. Each of said delay banks is provided with a delay bank status indicator for indicating propagation of the clock signal through the delay bank towards the controller. The controller is provided for taking the indicated propagation of the clock signal into account upon setting said switching elements. The device of the invention is amongst others suited for use in Ultra Wide Band (UWB) receiving or transmitting devices, in particular those devices, designed for low power consumption, by enabling power on and off switching of parts of said device like analog to digital converters and integrators, during timing windows.

    Abstract: The present relates to a digital sub-circuit suitable for embedding in an at least partially digital circuit for minimising the influence of another digital sub-circuit on the at least partially digital circuit, the other digital sub-circuit being part of the at least partially digital circuit. The influence of the other digital sub-circuit may for example be the introduction of ground bounce by switching of the other digital sub-circuit. The present invention furthermore relates to an at least partially digital circuit comprising such a digital sub-circuit for minimising the influence of another digital sub-circuit to the at least partially digital circuit and to a method for reducing the influence of another digital sub-circuit to an at least partially digital circuit.
