Abstract
A storage layer is arranged facing an array of micro-tips. The storage layer includes a plurality of insulated conductive dots designed to store electric charges. Each micro-tip includes a high-permittivity element integral to a transistor channel connecting a source and a drain. The channel has a conductance able to be modified by the electric field created by the charge of the dot arranged facing the high-permittivity element. The system can include an actuator for relative displacement of the storage layer with respect to the micro-tips. The system can include an array of electrodes able to cause displacement of the charges from one dot to the other.
