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. A first insulating layer is over the
substrate. A first solid electrolyte cell is over the insulating layer
and has a capacitance that is controllable between at least two states
and is proximate the source region. A second solid electrolyte cell is
over the insulating layer and has a capacitance or resistance that is
controllable between at least two states and is proximate the drain
region. An insulating element isolates the first solid electrolyte cell
from the second solid electrolyte cell. A first anode is electrically
coupled to the first solid electrolyte cell. The first solid electrolyte
cell is between the anode and the insulating layer. A second anode is
electrically coupled to the second solid electrolyte cell. The second
solid electrolyte cell is between the anode and the insulating layer. A
gate contact layer is over the substrate and between the source region
and drain region and in electrical connection with the first anode and
the second anode. The gate contact layer is electrically coupled to a
voltage source.
