    Abstract: The device comprises a semiconductor substrate (SB), a base insulator layer (BOX) formed on the substrate, a semiconductor channel region extending in longitudinal direction and enveloping the channel region. The regions of source (S), channel (CN) and drain (D) are formed in a continuous semiconductor layer (200) which is substantially flat and parallel to the upper surface of the substrate (SB), and the region of source, drain and gate (80) are encapsulated so to ensure an electrical insulation between the gate region and the regions of source and drain, and also between the substrate and the regions of source, drain, gate and channel. The thickness of the continuous semiconductor layer (200) is of the order of tens of nanometers. The gate region (80) is continuous, or formed of upper layer and lower parts separated by a dielectric layer. Independent claims are also included for: (1) an integrated circuit comprising the semiconductor device; and (2) a method for manufacturing the device comprising the formation of the base insulator layer, the formation of a silicon layer encapsulated between two layers, anisotropic etching, selective isotropic etching, filling tunnels with dielectric material, anisotropic etching, total selective etching of the remainders of encapsulation layers, oxidation of remainder of silicon layer, and filling spaces resulting from etching with the gate material.

    Abstract: The circuit includes a first semiconductor substrate supporting the electronic circuit, and a second substrate carrying an electromechanical component. The two substrates are glued together forming a sealed and protective enclosure for the auxiliary component. The first phase of manufacture includes forming the semiconductor chip (PC) within a first substrate, and forming a cavity in the upper surface of this substrate to accommodate an auxiliary component. A wall remains around the cavity, leaving the cavity as a well. The second phase includes formation of the auxiliary component (CAX) on a second semiconductor substrate (SB2), separate from the first. The second substrate is then turned over and applied to the first substrate as a lid with the auxiliary component hanging within the cavity of the first substrate. The two substrates are glued together forming a sealed and protective enclosure for the auxiliary component.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a DRAM integration method that does away with the alignment margins inherent to the photoetching step of the upper electrode of the capacitance for inserting the bit line contact. The removal of the upper electrode is self-aligned on the lower electrode of the capacitance. This is accomplished by forming a difference in topography at the point where the opening of the upper electrode is to be made, and depositing a non-doped polysilicon layer on the upper electrode. An implantation of dopants is performed on this layer, and the part of the non-doped layer located in the lower part of the zone showing the difference in topography is selectively etched. The remainder of the polysilicon layer and the part of the upper electrode located in the lower layer are also etched.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for protection of the grid of a transistor in an integrated circuit for production of a local interconnection pad straddling over the grid and the silicon substrate on which it is formed. The process consists of applying a double dielectric-conducting layer on the transistor grid into which a polysilicon layer is added in order to use the selectivity principle, which is large considering the etching of polysilicon with respect to the oxide in which the local interconnection pad is formed. Furthermore, with the process according to the invention, a silicidation treatment can be applied beforehand on the active areas of the transistor and the grid.
