    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes an interconnection part with several metallization levels. An electrically activatable switching device within the interconnection part has an assembly that includes a beam held by a structure. The beam and structure are located within the same metallization level. Locations of fixing of the structure on the beam are arranged so as to define for the beam a pivot point situated between these fixing locations. The structure is substantially symmetric with respect to the beam and to a plane perpendicular to the beam in the absence of a potential difference. The beam is able to pivot in a first direction in the presence of a first potential difference applied between a first part of the structure and to pivot in a second direction in the presence of a second potential difference applied between a second part of the structure.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a substrate. A fixed main capacitor electrode is disposed in a metal layer overlying the substrate. A second main capacitor electrode is disposed in a metal layer and spaced from the fixed main capacitor electrode. A movable capacitor electrode is disposed adjacent the fixed main capacitor electrode. The movable capacitor electrode is switchable between a first configuration in which the movable capacitor electrode and fixed main capacitor electrode are mutually spaced out in such a manner as to form an auxiliary capacitor electrically connected to the main capacitor. In a second configuration, the movable capacitor electrode and the fixed main capacitor electrode are in electrical contact in such a manner as to give a second capacitive value.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes several metallization levels separated by an insulating region. A hollow housing whose walls comprise metallic portions is produced within various metallization levels. A controllable capacitive device includes a suspended metallic structure situated in the hollow housing within a first metallization level including a first element fixed on two fixing zones of the housing and at least one second element extending in cantilever fashion from the first element and includes a first electrode of the capacitive device. A second electrode includes a first fixed body situated at a second metallization level adjacent to the first metallization level facing the first electrode. The first element is controllable in flexion from a control zone of this first element so as to modify the distance between the two electrodes.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an integrated circuit includes forming in a substrate a measuring circuit sensitive to mechanical stresses and configured to supply a measurement signal representative of mechanical stresses exerted on the measuring circuit. The measuring circuit is positioned such that the measurement signal is also representative of mechanical stresses exerted on a functional circuit of the integrated circuit. A method of using the integrated circuit includes determining from the measurement signal the value of a parameter of the functional circuit predicted to mitigate an impact of the variation in mechanical stresses on the operation of the functional circuit, and supplying the functional circuit with the determined value of the parameter.
