Abstract

We fabricated organic memory field-effect transistors (FETs) using PbS colloidal nano-dots (NDs) dispersed in thin poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) layers inserted between gate insulators (SiO2) and pentacene active layers as floating gates. The colloidal NDs were dispersed in chloroform solution with PMMA, and spin-coated on SiO2 surfaces. The fabricated memory FETs showed significantly large threshold voltage shifts of 64.5 V at maximum after a writing voltage of 100 V was applied to their control gates, and a maximum carrier mobility of 0.36 cm2 V-1 s-1, which was comparable to that of reference pentacene FETs without colloidal NDs, was obtained because of the improved crystallinity of the pentacene films.
