Generally, polymer-based memory devices store information in a manner distinct from that of silicon-based memory devices. Conventional silicon memory devices store charges as either zero or one for digital information, whereas most polymers store charges by the switching of electrical resistance. For the first time, this study reports that the novel conducting polymer Poly-N-Epoxy-Propyl Carbazole (PEPC) can offer effective memory storage behavior. In the current research, the electrical characterization of a single layer memory device (metal/polymer/metal) using PEPC, with or without doping of charge transfer complexes 7,7,8,8-tetra-cyanoquino-dimethane (TCNQ), was investigated. From the current–voltage characteristics, it was found that PEPC shows memory switching effects in both cases (with or without the TCNQ complex). However, in the presence of TCNQ, the PEPC performs faster memory switching at relatively lower voltage and, therefore, a higher ON and OFF ratio (ION/IOFF ~ 100) was observed. The outcome of this study may help to further understand the memory switching effects of conducting polymer.

ABSTRACTMOS memory devices containing semiconductor nanocrystals have drawn considerable attention recently, due to their advantages when compared to the conventional memories. Only little work has been done on memory devices containing metal nanoparticles.We describe the fabrication of a novel MOS device with embedded Pt nanoparticles in the HfO2 / SiO2 interface of a MOS device. Using as control oxide, a high-k dielectric, our device has a great degree of scalability. The fabricated nanoparticles are very small (about 5 nm) and have high density. High frequency C-V measurements demonstrate that this device operates as a memory device.

Two-terminal, non-volatile memory devices are the fundamental building blocks of memory-storage devices to store the required information, but their lack of flexibility limits their potential for biological applications. After the discovery of two-dimensional (2D) materials, flexible memory devices are easy to build, because of their flexible nature. Here, we report on our flexible resistive-switching devices, composed of a bilayer tin-oxide/tungsten-ditelluride (SnO2/WTe2) heterostructure sandwiched between Ag (top) and Au (bottom) metal electrodes over a flexible PET substrate. The Ag/SnO2/WTe2/Au flexible devices exhibited highly stable resistive switching along with an excellent retention time. Triggering the device from a high-resistance state (HRS) to a low-resistance state (LRS) is attributed to Ag filament formation because of its diffusion. The conductive filament begins its development from the anode to the cathode, contrary to the formal electrochemical metallization theory. The bilayer structure of SnO2/WTe2 improved the endurance of the devices and reduced the switching voltage by up to 0.2 V compared to the single SnO2 stacked devices. These flexible and low-power-consumption features may lead to the construction of a wearable memory device for data-storage purposes.

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.
