ABSTRACT:
A novel nonvolatile memory element or cell comprising a memory means consisting of at least one superconducting ring (21, 22) and a detector means consisting of a MOSFET. The superconducting ring and the MOSFET are arranged in such a manner that a magnetic flux created by the superconducting ring (21, 22) passes through a channel zone of the MOSFET. Information is held in the superconducting ring in a form of permanent current and is detected electrically as variation in the conductivity of the channel zone of the MOSFET.
