Abstract

A field effect device (2) includes a source electrode (14), a drain electrode (16), a channel (24) formed between the source electrode (14) and the drain electrode (16), and a gate electrode (22) separated from the channel (24) by an insulating layer (20), wherein the channel (24) comprises a switching material reversibly switchable between a lower conductivity state and a higher conductivity state, each of the conductivity states being persistent.
