French term or phrase: flanc de decoupage
In a patent relating to the manufacture of memory boards:
Additional process background: A dummy gate is superimposed on a coated substrate and several layers are deposited to form a control gate, a source and a drain (similar to a field-effect transistor. The layers are then etched to form a channel; the flanc(s) refer to the sides of the channel. "L'isolation électrique des flancs de découpage peut avoir lieur par exemple par oxydation de ces flancs, ou par recouvrement de ces flancs au moyen d'une couche de diélectrique, comparable à des espaceurs latéraux de grille."

Thanks very much!

English translation:etched side
Explanation:
You seemed to have got it yourself. If the layer is made of silicone, the silicone can be oxidised (par exemple par oxydation de ces flancs) to become insulators. Normally for FET, the silicone oxide insulator separates the gate from the source-drain channel giving it a high input resistance compared to BJT.

Explanation:
electrical isolation of the cutting() side can be achieved, for instance by
galvanic isolation or protecting(covering) these sides with an isolation dielectric stripe...........
