Highly-Robust Organometallic Small-Molecule-based Nonvolatile Resistive Memory Controlled by a Redox-Gated Switching Mechanism
2019
Although organic small-molecule-based memory devices (OSMDs) have been demonstrated to show great potential for the application in next-generation data-storage technology, progress towards their further development has been hugely hindered by the ambiguity of their electrical switching mechanism. Thus, purposely fabricating OSMDs with a definite switching behavior is very urgent. Here, we reported a redox-gated nonvolatile rewritable memory device using an organometallic small molecule as an active material. By introducing the redox-active ferrocene into an organic skeleton, the target small molecule exhibits reliable and robust FLASH-type bistable electrical characteristics with a clear redox-controlled switching mechanism, which leads to low operational voltages, good endurance and long retention. Our study offers a proof-of-concept strategy to design controllable OSMDs with excellent performances.
