Abstract
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de mémoire non volatile et des procédés permettant d'enregistrer et de lire les informations sur le dispositif de mémoire non volatile. Le dispositif de mémoire non volatile selon la présente invention comprend une couche mémoire placée entre les électrodes inférieure et supérieure. La couche mémoire constituée d'un matériau ferro-électrique comprend: une couche de stockage d'informations qui stocke les informations selon la polarité de la polarisation rémanente; et une couche de commutation qui est constituée d'un isolant et qui procure une résistance lors de la commutation de la polarisation du matériau ferro-électrique et qui agit en tant que condensateur du matériau ferro-électrique après la commutation ou non de la polarisation du matériau ferro-électrique. Dans le dispositif de mémoire non volatile selon l'invention, lequel dispositif est un nouveau dispositif de mémoire non volatile conceptuel, les informations sont stockées dans la couche de stockage d'informations réalisée à partir d'un matériau ferro-électrique puis elles sont lues par évaluation des caractéristiques de la couche de commutation constituée de l'isolant. En outre, le dispositif de mémoire non volatile est véritablement durable et il présente une capacité élevée pour les données bien que l'épaisseur de la couche mémoire soit inférieure à 100nm.
