Abstract

A memory cell is provided that may include: a field-effect transistor structure including a channel and a gate structure disposed adjacent to the channel, the gate structure including: one or more remanent-polarizable layers, a gate electrode, wherein the one or more remanent-polarizable layers are disposed between the gate electrode and the channel, and one or more charge storage structures disposed between at least one of the one or more remanent-polarizable layers and the channel and/or the one or more remanent-polarizable layers and the gate electrode, the one or more charge storage structures are configured to stabilize a polarization state associated with the one or more remanent-polarizable layers by trapping charge in the one or more charge storage structures.
