    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for a semiconductor device including a gate stack with a ferroelectric-oxide layer above a channel layer and in contact with the channel layer, and a top electrode above the ferroelectric-oxide layer. The ferroelectric-oxide layer includes a domain wall between an area under a nucleation point of the top electrode and above a separation line of the channel layer between an ON state portion and an OFF state portion of the channel layer. A resistance between a source electrode and a drain electrode is modulated in a range between a first resistance value and a second resistance value, dependent on a position of the domain wall within the ferroelectric-oxide layer, a position of the ON state portion of the channel layer, and a position of the OFF state portion of the channel layer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
