High‐Performance Programmable Memory Devices Based on Hyperbranched Copper Phthalocyanine Polymer Thin Films

Abstract: Electrically programmable fuse‐type polymer memory devices based on hyperbranched copper phthalocyanine polymer thin films are fabricated. The devices have novel write‐once‐read‐many (WORM) memory characteristics, with a high ON/OFF current ratio (of 106) and a high electrical stability, thus opening up the possibility of a low‐cost mass production of high‐performance, nonvolatile polymer memory devices.

“…As in copper-ion memories, [73][74][75] mobile metallic ions from the electrodes or the nanoparticles can migrate to form a conductive filament between the two electrodes when a high enough voltage is applied to the device. It has been observed using a current-sensing atomic force microscope [76][77][78][79] and an infrared microscope 80 that only the switching occurred in localized areas of the devices. Highly conductive spots are created after the device is switched to the low conductive state.…”

“…Recently, WORM memory devices have gained rapid development for their potential application for permanently data storage, such as wireless identification tags, smart cards, and personal data depositories. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] However, the development of organic WORM memory devices is still in its early stage and high performance devices are desired especially the ones with simple structure and construction process. On the other hand, the mechanisms involved in organic WORM memory devices are still under debate.…”

“…Moreover, their superior flexibility, toughness, dimensional stability and device properties can be easily tuned by tailoring their chemical structures during synthesis. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] However, the realization of high-density polymeric memory devices in a low-cost manner is highly constrained by the fact that the majority of reported polymeric memory materials will readily degrade or dissolve upon exposure to the solvents or wet chemicals used in multilayer device fabrication processes. [21][22][23][24][25] Although some of these materials have high dimensional and mechanical stability, their film forms are not sufficiently resilient to survive the device fabrication process.…”
