Abstract: In a non-volatile electric memory system a card-like memory unit (10) and a read/write unit (11) are provided as physically separate units. The memory unit (10) is based on a memory material (4) that can be set to at least two distinct physical states by applying an electric field across the memory material. The read/write unit (10) comprises contact means (9) provided in a determined geometrical pattern enabling a definition of memory cells in memory unit (10) in an initial write operation, the memory cells being located in a geometrical pattern corresponding to that of the contact means (9). Establishing a physical contact between the memory unit (10) and the read/write unit (11) closes an electrical circuit over an addressed memory cell such that read, write or erase operations can be effected. The memory material (4) of the memory unit (10) can be a ferroelectric or electret material that can be polarized into two discernible polarization states, or it can be a material with a resistive impedance characteristic such that a memory cell of the material can be set to a specific stable resistance value by the application of an electric field.

The memory unit (10) is based on a memory material (4) that can be set to at least two distinct physical states by applying an electric field across the memory material. Electrode means and/or contact means are either provided in the memory unit or in the read/write unit and contact means are at least always provided in the read/write unit. Electrodes and contacts are provided in a geometrical arrangement, which defines geometrically one or more memory cells in the memory layer. Contact means in the read/write unit are provided connectable to driving, sensing and control means located in the read/write unit or in an external device connected with the latter. Establishing a physical contact between the memory unit and the read/write unit closes an electrical circuit over the addressed memory cell such that read, write or erase operations can be effected. The memory material of the memory unit can be a ferroelectric or electret material that can be polarized into two discernible polarization states, or it can be a material with a resistive impedance characteristic such that a memory cell of the material can be set to a specific stable resistance value by the application of an electric field.

Abstract: A matrix-addressable ferroelectric or electret memory device and a method of operating are explained. The method includes applying a first plurality of voltage difference across a first and a second set of electrodes in the memory when data are read, and applying a second plurality of voltage differences when data are refreshed or rewritten. The first and second plurality of voltage differences correspond to sets of potential levels comprising time sequences of voltage pulses. At least one parameter indicative of a change in a memory cell response is used for determining at least one correction factor for the voltage pulses, whereby the pulse parameter is adjusted accordingly. The memory device comprises means for determining the at least one parameter, a calibration memory connected with means for determining the correction factor, and control circuits for adjusting pulse parameters as applied to read and write operations in the memory device.
