We have studied the effect of optical radiation on the conductivity of a thin-film field-effect transistor based on a multilayer structure of the Si-SiO2-Pt-PZT-SnO2 - x-Pt type. Within the permissible radiation dose, the conducting channel exhibits a residual photoconductivity, with an optical data storage time of no less than 10(5) s. The effective quenching of the residual conductivity in the structure studied can be produced only by simultaneous action of an alternating electric field and the temperature.
