Abstract: Substrate production involves epitaxially growing semiconductor layers on an initial substrate (1), defining and masking active zones, forming spacers and trenches, lateral etching of the first epitaxial layer, filling the formed tunnel with a dielectric for a Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) substrate or leaving void for a Silicon-On-Nothing (SON) substrate, and filling the trenches with a dielectric. Production of a SOI substrate involves: (a) epitaxial growth, in sequence, of a Ge or SiGe layer and a Si layer (3) on an initial, preferably Si, substrate; (b) defining and masking active zones; (c) forming insulating spacers (7) in trench zones around the perimeter of each active zone at predetermined intervals and back-to-back with the sides of the active zones; (d) etching the trenches; (e) lateral etching of the Ge or SiGe layer; (f) filling the formed laterally etched space (tunnel) (8) with a dielectric, preferably SiO2, or passivation of tunnel walls followed by filling the tunnel (8) with a dielectric different from SiO2; (g) filling the trenches with a dielectric, preferably SiO2; and (h) performing finishing operations. Production of a SON substrate involves the same procedure except that stage (f) is omitted and passivation of the tunnel walls can be carried out prior to filling the trenches with a dielectric. The thickness of the Ge or SiGe layer is 1-50 nm, preferably 10-30 nm, and the thickness of the Si layer (3) is 10-50 nm, preferably 5-20 nm. Following the finishing operations a 'bulk' zone is produced in the SOI or SON substrate by masking, using a resin, the region that must be retained, followed by removal of layers in the unmasked region. A multilayer of alternating Si layers (3) and Ge or SiGe layers (2) can be formed in stage (a) of the SOI or SON substrate production process. Independent claims are given for: (i) a substrate having at least one active SOI active zone surrounded by isolating trenches; and (ii) a substrate having at least one active SOI active zone surrounded by isolating trenches.

Abstract: MOS transistor production includes: forming first gate (2) in silicon-on-insulator substrate (1); forming semiconducting channel region transversely surmounting first gate, and drain (16) and source (17) regions respectively on each side of channel region; isolating channel region from upper surface of first gate; and forming the second gate (10) on, and transversely to, the channel region. Fabrication of a MOS transistor comprising a channel region sandwiched between a first gate (2) and a second gate (10) includes: (a) forming the first gate (2) in the body of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate (1); (b) on the upper surface of the substrate, forming by epitaxy a semiconducting channel region transversely surmounting the first gate (2), and semiconducting drain (16) and source (17) regions arranged respectively on each side of the channel region; (c) isolating the channel region from the upper surface of the first gate (2) by forming a tunnel under the channel region, and then filling it, at least partially, with a first dielectric material (8); and (d) forming the second gate (10) on the channel region and transversely to channel region, the second gate being separated from the upper surface of the channel region by a second dielectric material (8). An Independent claim is given for a MOS transistor produced by the above process. The thickness of dielectric material filling the tunnel produced in the MOS transistor is 1-50 nm, e.g. 20 nm.

Abstract: The process for fabricating a network of nanometric lines made of single-crystal silicon on an isolating substrate includes the production of a substrate comprising a silicon body having a lateral isolation defining a central part in the body. A recess is formed in the central part having a bottom wall made of dielectric material, a first pair of opposed parallel sidewalls made of dielectric material, and a second pair of opposed parallel sidewalls. At least one of the opposed parallel sidewalls of the second pair being formed from single-crystal silicon. The method further includes the epitaxial growth in the recess, from the sidewall made of single-crystal silicon of the recess, of an alternating network of parallel lines made of single-crystal SiGe alloy and of single-crystal silicon. Also, the lines made of single-crystal SiGe alloy are etched to form in the recess a network of parallel lines made of single-crystal silicon insulated from each other.

Abstract: The invention concerns a transmitter and receiver comprising several transducers arranged opposite an opening of a housing. Each transducer comprises a deformable semiconductor membrane (MB) designed to be run through by an electric current and separated by a substrate zone (ZSB1, ZSB2) by a cavity enabling the membrane to be deformed under the effect of acoustic pressure of a Lorenz force.

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.
