A capacitorless memory device based on a multi-gate MOSFET and requiring relatively low bias voltages. By providing a sufficient body factor and inducing a V T -feedback loop, using an accumulation layer to link threshold voltage with gate-to-body voltage, a hysteresis window (H) can be induced allowing the MOSFET to store '1' or '0' values (54, 51), and to read (within a program window PW) and hold (50) the stored values. The device operates with relatively low operating voltages such as 1.5V, high reliability e.g. 10 16 operations, and long retention time such as ~5sec. |
