Abstract
A novel Si memory device is proposed, and its fundamental characteristics are demonstrated. The device uses a MOSFET as a gateway for electrons transported to and from the memory island. The stored electrons are detected by a highly sensitive single-electron transistor. The device features ultra-low-power and high-speed operation
