A memory element includes a first electrode, a passive layer on and in contact with the first electrode, a polyfluorene active layer on and in contact with the active layer, and a second electrode on and in contact with the polyfluorene active layer. The chemical structure of the polyfluorene active layer may be altered to take different forms, each providing a different memory element operating characteristic.

The present memory device has first and second electrodes, a passive layer between the first and second electrodes and on and in contact with the first electrode, and an active layer between the first and second electrodes and on and in contact with the passive layer and second electrode, for receiving a charged specie from the passive layer. The active layer is a mixture of (i) a first polymer, and (ii) a second polymer for enhancing ion transport, improving the interface and promoting a rapid and substantially uniform distribution of the charged specie in the active layer, i.e., preventing a localized injection of the charged species. These features result in a memory element with improved stability, a more controllable ON-state resistance, improved switching speed and a lower programming voltage.

摘要:
A system and method are disclosed for processing an organic memory cell. An exemplary system can employ an enclosed processing chamber, a passive layer formation component operative to form a passive layer on a first electrode, and an organic semiconductor layer formation component operative to form an organic semiconductor layer on the passive layer. A wafer substrate is not needed to transfer from a passive layer formation system to an organic semiconductor layer formation system. The passive layer is not exposed to air after formation of the passive layer and before formation of the organic semiconductor layer. As a result, conductive impurities caused by the exposure to air do not occur in the thin film layer, thus improving productivity, quality, and reliability of organic memory devices. The system can further employ a second electrode formation component operative to form a second electrode on the organic semiconductor layer.
摘要:
The subject invention provides systems and methods that facilitate formation of semiconductor memory devices comprising memory cells with one or more injecting bilayer electrodes. Memory arrays generally comprise bit cells that have two discrete components; a memory element and a selection element, such as, for example, a diode. The invention increases the efficiency of a memory device by forming memory cells with selection diodes comprising a bilayer electrode. Memory cells are provided comprising bilayer cathodes and/or bilayer anodes that facilitate a significant improvement in charge injection into the diode layers of memory cells. The increased charge (e.g. electrons or holes) density in the diode layers of the selected memory cells results in improved memory cell switching times and lowers the voltage required for the memory cell to operate, thereby, creating a more efficient memory cell.
