  • Patent number: 8581310
    Abstract: The transistor comprises first and second source/drain electrodes formed in a semiconductor film by N-doped and P-doped areas, respectively. A polarization voltage is applied between the two source/drain electrodes in order to impose to the P-doped electrode a potential higher than that of the N-doped electrode. The transistor comprises first and second devices for generating a potential barrier in the semiconductor film. The two potential barriers are opposed to the passage of the charge carriers emitted by the first and second source/drain electrodes, respectively. The two potential barriers are shifted with respect to an axis connecting the two source/drain electrodes. The two devices for generating a potential barrier are configured to generate a potential barrier having a variable amplitude and it are electrically connected to the gate and to the counter electrode.

  • Patent number: 7759175
    Abstract: The fabrication method of a mixed substrate comprising a tensile strained silicon-on-insulator portion and a compressive strained germanium-on-insulator portion comprises a first step of producing a strained silicon-on-insulator base substrate comprising first and second tensile strained silicon zones. After the base substrate has been produced, the method comprises the successive steps of masking the first tensile strained silicon zone forming the tensile strained silicon-on-insulator portion of the substrate, of performing germanium enrichment treatment of the second tensile strained silicon zone of the base substrate until a compressive strained germanium layer is obtained forming said compressive strained germanium-on-insulator portion of the substrate, and of removing the masking.

  • Patent number: 7732282
    Abstract: The transistor comprises a source and a drain separated by a lightly doped intermediate zone. The intermediate zone forms first and second junctions respectively with the source and with the drain. The transistor comprises a first gate to generate an electric field in the intermediate zone, on the same side as the first junction, and a second gate to generate an electric field in the intermediate zone, on the same side as the second junction.
