Ferroelectric memory using multiferroics is described. The multiferroic memory includes a substrate having a source region, a drain region and a channel region separating the source region and the drain region. An electrically insulating layer is adjacent to the source region, drain region and channel region. A data storage cell having a composite multiferroic layer is adjacent to the electrically insulating layer. The electrically insulating layer separated the data storage cell form the channel region. A control gate electrode is adjacent to the data storage cell. The data storage cell separates at least a portion of the control gate electrode from the electrically insulating layer.
