Abstract
A method comprises applying a first electric field pulse to a nanowire comprising a channel and a charge trapping region configured to control conductivity of the channel, the first electric field pulse having a first polarity and a relatively large magnitude of integral of electric field during the pulse and, thereafter, applying at least one further electric field pulse to the nanowire, each further electric pulse having a second, opposite polarity and each respective further electric field pulse having a relatively small magnitude of integral of electric field during the pulse.
