We report on a novel silicon nanowire-based field effect transistor with integrated ferroelectric gate oxide. The concept allows tuning the carrier transport in a non-volatile approach by switching the polarization in the ferroelectric layer close to the source Schottky-junction. We interpret the results in terms of tuning the transmissibility of the Schottky-junction for charge carriers. The experimental results provide a first step towards the integration of memory-in-logic concepts with reconfigurable nanowire transistors.
