Abstract

We fabricated organic nonvolatile memory with a device structure of Al/Alq3 (aluminum tris (8-hydroxyquinoline))/Ni nanocrystals surrounded by NiO/Alq3/Al. We obtained the best bistable switching characteristics at a 30-nm Alq3 thickness, 0.1-Å/sec evaporation rate, and 10-nm Ni nanocrystal layer thickness. The electrical behavior of the bistable switching devices was obtained by sweeping the voltage from 0 to 10 V. Our devices showed excellent bistable memory characteristics, such as a Vth of 2 V, Vp of 3 V, Ve of 5 V, and Ion/Ioff ratio of greater than 104. We found that a region of negative differential resistance exists between Vp and Ve.
