To investigate the behaviour of the organic memory transistors, graphene oxide (GO) was utilized as the floating gate in 6,13-Bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentacene (TIPS-pentacene)-based organic memory transistors. A cross-linked, off-centre spin-coated and ozone-treated poly(methyl methacrylate) (cPMMA) was used as the insulating layer. High mobility and negligible hysteresis with very clear transistor behaviour were observed for the control transistors. On the other hand, memory transistors exhibited clear large hysteresis which is increased with increasing programming voltage. The shifts in the threshold voltage of the transfer characteristics as well as the hysteresis in the output characteristics were attributed to the charging and discharging of the floating gate. The counter-clockwise direction of hysteresis indicates that the process of charging and discharging the floating gate take place through the semiconductor/insulator interface. A clear shift in the threshold voltage was observed when different voltage pulses were applied to the gate. The non-volatile behaviour of the memory transistors was investigated in terms of charge retention. The memory transistors exhibited a large memory window (~30 V), and high charge density of (9.15 × 1011 cm−2).

ABSTRACTThe threshold voltage shift of a p-channel Ge/Si hetero-nanocrystal floating gate memory device was investigated both numerically and phenomenologically. The numerical investigations, by solving 2-D Poisson-Boltzmann equation, show that the presence of the Ge on Si dot tremendously prolongs the retention time, reflected by the time decay behavior of the threshold voltage shift. The increase of the thickness of either Si or Ge dot will reduce the threshold voltage shift. The shift strongly depends on the dot density. Nevertheless, only a weak relation between the threshold voltage shift and the tunneling oxide thickness was found. A circuit model was then introduced to interpret the behavior of threshold voltage shift, which agrees well with the results of the numerical method.

Based on the introduction of floating-gate silicon quantum dot single-electron memorizers structure and working principle, this paper builds corresponding lumping current and capacitance model to calculate the current with memory in the circumstance of linearity, saturation and sub-threshold. Taking advantage of the single-electron devices Threshold Voltage Shift educes different storage condition of nanostorage with different threshold voltage. The simulation shows, this model can precisely simulate memorys read and write state.
