Abstract: A multi-time programmable memory cell is provided. The multi-time programmable memory cell includes a floating gate formed on a field oxide region formed on a semiconductor substrate. A control gate is formed on the field oxide region and located parallel to a first portion of the floating gate. A program-erase electrode is formed on the field oxide region and proximate to a second portion of the floating gate. A first well region and a second well region are formed in the semiconductor substrate such that a channel region is formed between the first well region and the second well region with a third portion of the floating gate overlaying the channel region.

Abstract: A high-voltage metal capacitor with easy integration into existing semiconductor manufacturing processes can provide isolation capacitors up to several kilovolts. The capacitor includes a support layer with internal structure, including a lower place, a bond pad on the support layer, an upper plate disposed on the support layer, the upper plate being arranged above the lower plate, a dielectric layer, at least part of which is between the lower and upper plates, and a passivation layer, at least part of which covers at least part of the upper plate and part of the dielectric layer. A first opening extends from the surface through the passivation and dielectric layers to the lower plate, and a second opening extends from the surface through the passivation layer to the upper plate. A method of manufacturing the capacitor.

Abstract: Disclosed is an integrated circuit die comprising an active substrate including a plurality of components laterally separated from each other by respective isolation structures, at least some of the isolation structures carrying a further component, wherein the respective portions of the active substrate underneath the isolation structures carrying said further components are electrically insulated from said components. A method of manufacturing such an IC die is also disclosed.
