The Invention of Charge Trap Memory – John Szedon
The notion of using a charge trap as a memory bit was first proposed at an IEEE conference in 1967, 53 years ago. 

At that time a researcher at Westinghouse R&D Labs named John Szedon and his associate Ting Chu proposed that a problematic phenomenon called “Charge Trapping,” one that caused failures in the then-new MOS transistor, might be useful as a memory bit.
