Abstract:
A method of producing a microelectronic device in a substrate comprising a first semiconductor layer, a dielectric layer and a second semiconductor layer, comprising the following steps : etching a trench through the first semiconductor layer, the dielectric layer and a part of the thickness of the second semiconductor layer, thus defining, in the first semiconductor layer, one active region of the microelectronic device, ionic implantation in one or more side walls of the trench, at the level of the second semiconductor layer, modifying the crystallographic properties and/or the chemical properties of the implanted semiconductor, etching of the implanted semiconductor such that at least a part of the trench extends under a part of the active region, - filling of the trench with a dielectric material, forming an isolation trench surrounding the active region and comprising portions extending under a part of the active region.
Abstract:
Transistor with counter-electrode connection amalgamated with the source/drain contact The field effect device (7) comprises an active area (5) made from semi-conducting material (4) and a gate electrode (8) separated from the active area (5) by a dielectric gate material (9). A counter-electrode (14) is separated from the active area (5) by a layer (3) of electrically insulating material. Two source/drain contacts (12, 13) are arranged on the active area (5) on each side of the gate electrode (8). One of the source/drain contacts (13) is made from a single material, overspills from the active area (5) and connects the active area (5) with the counter-electrode (14). The counter-electrode contact (13) is delineated by a closed peripheral insulating pattern (6).

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for classifying a spatial environment as open or enclosed are provided. In the method and apparatus, one or more microphones (102) detect ambient sound in a spatial environment and output an audio signal representative of the ambient sound. A processor (104) determines a spatial environment impulse response (SEIR) for the audio signal and extracts one or more features of the SEIR. The processor classifies the spatial environment as open or enclosed based on the one or more features of the SEIR.
