    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: A process for making a DRAM-type cell includes growing layers of silicon germanium and layers of silicon, by epitaxy from a silicon substrate; superposing a first layer of N+ doped silicon and a second layer of P doped silicon; and forming a transistor on the silicon substrate. The method also includes etching a trench in the extension of the transistor to provide an access to the silicon germanium layers relative to the silicon layers over a pre-set depth to form lateral cavities, and forming a capacitor in the trench and in the lateral cavities.

    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.
