  • Patent number: 11189792
    Abstract: A resistive non-volatile memory cell includes a first electrode, a second electrode and an oxide layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, the memory cell being capable of reversibly switching between: —a high resistance state obtained by applying a first bias voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode; and—a low resistance state obtained by applying a second bias voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode; the oxide layer including a switching zone forming a conduction path prioritised for the current passing through the memory cell when the memory cell is in the low resistance state. The oxide layer includes a first zone doped with aluminium or silicon, the aluminium or silicon being present in the first zone with an atomic concentration that is selected so as to locate the switching zone outside the first zone.

  • Patent number: 9379213
    Abstract: Method for fabricating a transistor comprising the steps consisting of: forming sacrificial zones in a semi-conductor layer, either side of a transistor channel zone, forming insulating spacers on said sacrificial zones against the sides of the gate of said transistor, removing said sacrificial zones so as to form cavities, with the cavities extending on either side of said channel zone and penetrating under said spacers, forming doped semi-conductor material in said cavities, with said semi-conductor material penetrating under said spacers.
