AB  - Science and technology in the electronics area have always been driven by the 
      development of materials with unique properties and their integration into novel 
      device concepts with the ultimate goal to enable new functionalities in 
      innovative circuit architectures. In particular, a shift in paradigm requires a 
      synergistic approach that combines materials, devices and circuit aspects 
      simultaneously. Here we report the experimental implementation of a novel 
      nonvolatile memory cell that combines silicon nanowires with an organic 
      ferroelectric polymer-PVDF-TrFE-into a new ferroelectric transistor architecture. 
      Our new cell, the ferroelectric transistor random access memory (FeTRAM) exhibits 
      similarities with state-of-the-art ferroelectric random access memories (FeRAMs) 
      in that it utilizes a ferroelectric material to store information in a 
      nonvolatile (NV) fashion but with the added advantage of allowing for 
      nondestructive readout. This nondestructive readout is a result of information 
      being stored in our cell using a ferroelectric transistor instead of a 
      capacitor-the scheme commonly employed in conventional FeRAMs.
