Abstract

Non-volatile multi-bit memory with programmable capacitance is disclosed. Illustrative data memory units include a substrate including a source region and a drain region; and a gate stack structure over the substrate and between the source region and drain region. The gate stack structure includes a first solid electrolyte cell and a second solid electrolyte cell. The solid electrolyte cells having a capacitance that is controllable between at least two states. A gate contact layer is electrically coupled to a voltage source. The first solid electrolyte cell and the second solid electrolyte cell separate the gate contact layer from the substrate.
