Description of the invention () Please refer to Figure 5, after the power is turned on, the data stored in the non-volatile rewritable transistor TS is first read out via the second The bit line BL-F is transmitted to the conversion circuit, such as a data buffer, and then is transmitted from the conversion circuit to the storage capacitor C of the DRAM memory cell through the first bit line BL-D. Therefore, before the normal operation of the DRAM memory cell, the data is first stored in the DRAM memory cell, so that the DRAM memory cell can continue to work according to the previous record. Therefore, after the data is stored in the DRAM memory cell, the rewritable transistor TS is closed, and only the RAM memory cell is used for access, as shown in FIG. 3. Using the non-volatile memory element of the present invention, because the DRAM memory cell is relatively adjacent to the rewritable transistor TS, the structure used is relatively simple, and the circuit is simplified, so that the access path is shortened and the data conversion time can be greatly increased. Access speed. The non-volatile memory element of the present invention can be used as a memory unit to form a memory array, and the conventional peripheral circuit can be used to form a complete memory. This memory includes a memory array, a data buffer, and data conversion, as well as other peripheral circuits, such as address decoders and input / output circuits (I / O). The memory array is composed of a plurality of non-volatile memory elements of the present invention. Each of the 5 memory elements includes at least one control transistor TC, a storage capacitor C, and a non-volatile erasable electrical device as described above.
