    摘要: The present invention provides a nanostructured memory device comprising at least one semiconductor nanowire (3) forming a current transport channel, one or more shell layers (4) arranged around at least a portion of the nanowire (3), and nano-sized charge trapping centres (10) embedded in said one or more shell layers (4), and one or more gate electrodes (14) arranged around at least a respective portion of said one or more shell layers (4). Preferably said one or more shell layers (4) are made of a wide band gap material or an insulator. The charge trapping centres (10) may be charged/written by using said one or more gate electrodes (14) and a change in an amount of charge stored in one or more of the charge trapping centres (10) alters the conductivity of the nanowire (3).

    摘要: The present invention relates to a nanostructured device for charge storage. In particular the invention relates to a charge storage device that can be used for memory applications. According to the invention the device comprise a first nanowire with a first wrap gate arranged around a portion of its length, and a charge storing terminal connected to one end, and a second nanowire with a second wrap gate arranged around a portion of its length. The charge storing terminal is connected to the second wrap gate, whereby a charge stored on the charge storing terminal can affect a current in the second nanowire. The current can be related to written (charged) or unwritten (no charge) state, and hence a memory function is established.
