In this research, we investigate the memory behavior of poly(3,4 ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) cross bar structure memory cells. We demonstrate that Al/PEDOT:PSS/Al cells fabricated elements exhibit a bipolar switching and reproducible behavior via current–voltage, endurance, and retention time tests. We ascribe the physical origin of the bipolar switching to the change of the electrical conductivity of PEDOT:PSS due to electrical field induced dipolar reorientation.

Intensive research is currently underway to exploit the highly interesting properties of nano-sized particles and organic molecules for optical, electronic and other applications. Recently, it has been shown that nano-sized particles and small organic molecules embedded in polymer matrices can be used to realise memory devices. Such memory devices are simple to fabricate via the spin-on technique. This work presents an attempt to use sea salt, embedded in polyvinyl acetate, in the making of the memory devices. A polymer blend of polyvinyl acetate and sodium chloride (NaCl) was prepared in methanol and spin coated onto a glass substrate marked with thin Al tracks and a top contact was evaporated onto the blend after drying - this resulted in a metal-organic-metal (MOM) structure. The current-voltage (I-V) behaviour of MOM devices shows that the devices can be switched from a high conductivity state to a low conductivity state, by applying an external electric field - this property can be exploited to store data bits. The possible charging mechanism, based on the electric dipole formation, is presented in this work. Polymer blends of polyvinyl acetate with nano-particles of BaTiO3 are also investigated to further our understanding of charging mechanism(s).

Abstract The electrical conductivity of lithium tantalate thin film on the silicon substrate was studied. The film structure was prepared by RF magnetron sputtering. In general, the current-voltage characteristics were asymmetric and similar to that of a diode. The current-voltage characteristics had several sections associated with various transport mechanisms of current carriers. The main conductivity mechanism was related to the space-charge-limited current. The current-voltage characteristics showed that there was a mismatch between the forward and backward runs. One of the reasons for such behavior is a space charge accumulation due to charge carriers which were injected from the electrode and did not relax.

We have studied the effect of various electrodes on non-volatile polymer memory devices. The ITO/PEDOT:PSS/Top electrode (TE) devices had bipolar switching behavior. The OFF current level of devices increased from 3×10-4 A to 3×10-3 A and the ON voltage decreased from 0.8 V to 0.5 V as the TE work function increased. The yield of devices decreased from over 50 % to under 10 % as the TE work function of devices increased. This result occurred because carrier injection was affected by the TE work function.
