This study reports the fabrication and characterization of polymer resistive switching memory devices fabricated from poly(ether sulfone)s (PESs), containing carboxylic functional groups for hydrogen bonding with disperse red 1. PES-based supramolecular memory devices exhibited write-once read-many-times-type memory effects, with low switching threshold voltages below −5.0 V and high ON/OFF current ratios of 105. It is the first time that the concept of azobenzene supramolecular PES based on hydrogen bonding for electrical memory device application was investigated. A possible switching mechanism based on the charge transfer interaction was proposed through molecular simulation, optical absorption, and cyclic voltammetry. These results render the PES-based supramolecular memory devices as promising components for high-performance polymer memory devices.

The demand for more efficient and faster memory structures is greater today than ever before. The efficiency of memory structures is measured in terms of storage capacity and the speed of functioning. However, the production cost of such configurations is the natural constraint on how much can be achieved. Organic memory devices (OMDs) provide an ideal solution, in being inexpensive, and at the same time promising high performance. However, all OMDs reported so far suffer from multiple drawbacks that render their industrial implementation premature. This article introduces the different types of OMDs, discusses the progress in this field over the last 9 years and invokes conundrums that scholars of this field are currently faced with, such as questions about the charging mechanism and stability of devices, contradictions in the published work and some future directions.

ABSTRACTResistive memory materials and devices (often called memristors) are an area of intense research, with metal/metal oxide/metal resistive elements a prominent example of such devices. Electroforming (the formation of a conductive filament in the metal oxide layer) represents one of the often necessary steps of resistive memory device fabrication that results in large and poorly controlled variability in device performance. In this contribution we present a numerical investigation of the electroforming process. In our model, drift and Ficks and Soret diffusion processes are responsible for movement of vacancies in the oxide material. Simulations predict filament formation and qualitatively agreed with a reduction of the forming voltage in structures with a top electrode. The forming and switching results of the study are compared with numerical simulations and show a possible pathway toward more repeatable and controllable resistive memory devices.
