Abstract
An illustrative device disclosed herein includes a semiconductor substrate. The substrate includes a source region, a drain region and a channel region. The channel region is arranged between the source region and the drain region. A gate insulation layer is provided over the channel region. A floating gate electrode is provided over the gate insulation layer. A layer of a ferroelectric material is provided over the floating gate electrode. A top electrode is provided over the layer of ferroelectric material. A projected area of the top electrode onto a plane that is perpendicular to a thickness direction of the semiconductor substrate is smaller than a projected area of the floating gate electrode onto the plane.
