Abstract

Experimental data is reported on the temperature dependence of the write and erase parameters of the informational logical 1 or logical 0 for energy-independent memory elements based on metal-lead oxide-silicon (or gallium arsenide) as well as the results of studying the information storage time at elevated temperatures. The nature of the physical processes that allow writing and erasing of a logical 1 (or logical 0) in the investigated memory elements upon the application of an electrical signal is discussed.
