  • Publication number: 20100184274
    Abstract: A method of producing a transistor having parallel semiconductor nanofingers. The method includes: forming a monocrystalline layer of a semiconductor material on a layer of a subjacent material which can be selectively etched in relation to the monocrystalline layer; etching parallel partitions in the monocrystalline layer and in the subjacent layer and continuing said etching operation in order to hollow out part of the subjacent layer of material; filling the gap between the partitions and the hollowed-out part with a first insulating material; defining a central part of the partitions and removing the first insulating material from around the central part of the monocrystalline layer, thereby forming a finger of semiconductor material; and filling and coating the central part with a conductor material.

  • Publication number: 20100099233
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing stacked and self-aligned components on a substrate, comprising the following steps: forming a stack of layers on one face of the substrate, the stack comprising a first sacrificial layer, a second sacrificial layer and a superficial layer, selective etching of a zone of the first sacrificial layer, the second sacrificial layer and the superficial layer forming a bridge above the etched zone of the first sacrificial layer, depositing resin in the etched zone of the first sacrificial layer and on the superficial layer, lithography of the resin to leave remaining at least one zone of resin in the etched zone of the first sacrificial layer, in alignment with at least one resin zone on the superficial layer, replacing the eliminated resin in the etched zone of the first sacrificial layer and on the superficial layer with a material for confining the remaining resin, eliminating the remaining resin zones in the etched zone of the first sacrificial layer and on the

  • Patent number: 7420253
    Abstract: A transistor structure comprises a semiconductor element extending between a source zone and a drain zone, as well as three portions of gates disposed on different sides of the semiconductor element. Such a structure is especially compact and may be used as two or three transistors having independent respective functions. In particular, the structure may be used as a combination of a transistor with a logic or analog function, with one or two random access memory cells.

  • Publication number: 20070278575
    Abstract: Process for fabricating a transistor, in which an electron-sensitive resist layer lying between at least two semiconductor fingers is formed and said resist lying between at least two wires is converted into a dielectric. For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure an integrated circuit includes a transistor having an insulating substrate including, for example, based on silicon oxide. Transistor also includes a conducting gate region comprising, for example, TiN or polysilicon, formed on a localized zone of the upper surface of the substrate, and an isolating region, comprising, for example, silicon oxide and surrounding the conducting region. The conducting region is also bounded in the direction normal to the plane of the drawing.

  • Publication number: 20070194355
    Abstract: A planar transistor device includes two independent gates (a first and second gates) along with a semiconductor channel lying between the gates. The semiconductor channel is formed of a first material. The channel includes opposed ends comprising dielectric zone with a channel region positioned between the gates. The dielectric zones comprises an oxide of the first material.
