A thermo-electric generator includes a semiconductor membrane with a phononic structure containing at least one P-N junction. The membrane is suspended between a first support designed to be coupled to a cold thermal source and a second support designed to be coupled to a hot thermal source. The structure for suspending the membrane has an architecture allowing the heat flux to be redistributed within the plane of the membrane.

Thermo-electric generator

A tunnel-effect power converter including first and second electrodes having opposite surfaces, wherein the first electrode includes protrusions extending towards the second electrode.

Tunnel-effect power converter

This method for making complementary p and n MOSFET transistors with Schottky source and drain electrodes controlled by a gate electrode, comprising: making source and drain electrodes from a single silicide for both p and n transistors; segregating first impurities from groups II and III of the periodic table at the interface between the silicide and the channel of the p transistor, the complementary n transistor being masked; and segregating second impurities from groups V and VI of the periodic table, at the interface between the silicide and the channel of the n transistor, and the complementary p transistor being masked.

Method for making complementary P and N MOSFET transistors, electronic device including such transistors, and processor including at least one such device

This invention relates to a MOS transistor made in the thin film of silicon of an SOI chip ( ), said thin film ( ) being slightly doped and of less than 30 nm in thickness, the source ( ) and drain ( ) contacts being of the Schottky type at the lowest level of Schottky barrier possible for majority carriers, with an accumulation type transistor operation.
