    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a number of metallization levels separated by an insulating region disposed over a substrate. A housing includes walls formed from metal portions produced in various metallization levels. A metal device is housed in the housing. An aperture is produced in at least one wall of the housing. An external mechanism outside of the housing is configured so as to form an obstacle to diffusion of a fluid out of the housing through the at least one aperture. At least one through-metallization passes through the external mechanism and penetrates into the housing through the aperture in order to make contact with at least one element of the metal device.

    Abstract: Methods of operating a switching device are provided. The switching device is formed in an interconnect, the interconnect including a plurality of metallization levels, and 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 mechanical device for detection of spatial orientation and/or of change in orientation of the integrated circuit. The device is formed in the BEOL and includes an accommodation whose sides include metal portions formed within various metallization levels. A mobile metal component is accommodated within the accommodation. A monitor inside the accommodation defines a displacement area for the metal component and includes electrically conductive elements disposed at the periphery of the displacement area. The component is configured so as to, under the action of the gravity, come into contact with the two electrically conductive elements in response to a given spatial orientation of the integrated circuit. A detector is configured to detect an electrical link passing through the component and the electrically conductive elements.
