An integrated memory circuit includes at least one memory cell formed by a single
transistor whose gate (GR) has a lower face insulated from a channel region by
an insulation layer containing a succession of potential wells, which are substantially
arranged at a distance from the gate and from the channel region in a plane substantially
parallel to the lower face of the gate. The potential wells are capable of containing
an electric charge which is confined in the plane and can be controlled to move
in the plane towards a first confinement region next to the source region or towards
a second confinement region next to the drain region so as to define two memory
states for the cell.
