A flexible organic pentacene nonvolatile memory based on high-kappa dielectric layers

Abstract

We report a pentacene thin film transistor nonvolatile memory fabricated on a flexible polyimide substrate. This device shows a low program/erase voltage of 12 V, a speed of 1/100 ms, an initial memory window of 2.4 V, and a 0.78 V memory window after 48 h. This has been achieved by using a high-kappa dielectric as charge trapping, blocking, and tunneling gate insulator layers.
