Abstract
Organic memory devices were made using the plasma polymerization method. The memory device consisted of ppMMA(plasma polymerization MMA) thin films as the tunneling and insulating layer, and a Au thin film as the memory layer, which was deposited by thermal evaporation. The organic memory operation theory was developed according to the charging and discharging characteristics of floating gate type memory, which would be measured by the hysteresis voltage and memory voltage with the gate voltage values. The I-V characteristics of the fabricated memory device showed a hysteresis voltage of 26 [V] at 60 ~ -60 [V] double sweep measuring conditions. The programming voltage was applied to the gate electrode in accordance with the result of this theory. A programming voltage of 60[V] equated to a memory voltage of 13[V], and 80[V] equated to a memory voltage of 18[V]. The memory voltage of approximately 40 [%]increased with increasing programming voltage. The charge memory layer charging or discharging according to the theory of the memory was verified experimentally.
