Stable and Multilevel Data Storage Resistive Switching of Organic Bulk Heterojunction.

ABSTRACT: Organic nonvolatile memory devices have a vital role for the next generation of electrical memory units, due to their large scalability and low-cost fabrication techniques. Here, we show bipolar resistive switching based on an Ag/ZnO/P3HT-PCBM/ITO device in which P3HT-PCBM acts as an organic heterojunction with inorganic ZnO protective layer. The prepared memory device has consistent DC endurance (500 cycles), retention properties (10⁴ s), high ON/OFF ratio (10⁵), and environmental stability. The observation of bipolar resistive switching is attributed to creation and rupture of the Ag filament. In addition, our conductive bridge random access memory (CBRAM) device has adequate regulation of the current compliance leads to multilevel resistive switching of a high data density storage.

Pulse-modulated multilevel data storage in an organic ferroelectric resistive memory diode.

Project description:We demonstrate multilevel data storage in organic ferroelectric resistive memory diodes consisting of a phase-separated blend of P(VDF-TrFE) and a semiconducting polymer. The dynamic behaviour of the organic ferroelectric memory diode can be described in terms of the inhomogeneous field mechanism (IFM) model where the ferroelectric components are regarded as an assembly of randomly distributed regions with independent polarisation kinetics governed by a time-dependent local field. This allows us to write and non-destructively read stable multilevel polarisation states in the organic memory diode using controlled programming pulses. The resulting 2-bit data storage per memory element doubles the storage density of the organic ferroelectric resistive memory diode without increasing its technological complexity, thus reducing the cost per bit.

Light-activated Multilevel Resistive Switching Storage in Pt/Cs2AgBiBr6/ITO/Glass Devices.

Project description:High-density Cs2AgBiBr6 films with uniform grains were prepared by a simple one-step and low-temperature sol-gel method on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates. An explicit tristate bipolar resistance switching behavior was observed in the Pt/Cs2 AgBiBr6/ITO/glass devices under irradiation of 10 mW/cm2 (445 nm). This behavior was stable over 1200 s. The maximum ratio of the high and low resistance states was about 500. Based on the analysis of electric properties, valence variation and absorption spectra, the resistive switching characteristics were attributed to the trap-controlled space charge-limited current mechanism due to the bromine vacancies in the Cs2AgBiBr6 layer. On the other hand, it is suggested that the ordering of the Schottky-like barrier located at Pt/Cs2AgBiBr6 affects the three-state resistance switching behavior under light irradiation. The ability to adjust the photoelectrical properties of Cs2AgBiBr6-based resistive switching memory devices is a promising strategy to develop high-density memory.

Parylene Based Memristive Devices with Multilevel Resistive Switching for Neuromorphic Applications.

Project description:In this paper, the resistive switching and neuromorphic behaviour of memristive devices based on parylene, a polymer both low-cost and safe for the human body, is comprehensively studied. The Metal/Parylene/ITO sandwich structures were prepared by means of the standard gas phase surface polymerization method with different top active metal electrodes (Ag, Al, Cu or Ti of ~500 nm thickness). These organic memristive devices exhibit excellent performance: low switching voltage (down to 1 V), large OFF/ON resistance ratio (up to 104), retention (≥104 s) and high multilevel resistance switching (at least 16 stable resistive states in the case of Cu electrodes). We have experimentally shown that parylene-based memristive elements can be trained by a biologically inspired spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) mechanism. The obtained results have been used to implement a simple neuromorphic network model of classical conditioning. The described advantages allow considering parylene-based organic memristors as prospective devices for hardware realization of spiking artificial neuron networks capable of supervised and unsupervised learning and suitable for biomedical applications.

Characterising Exciton Generation in Bulk-Heterojunction Organic Solar Cells.

Project description:In this paper, characterisation of exciton generation is carried out in three bulk-heterojunction organic solar cells (BHJ OSCs)-OSC1: an inverted non-fullerene (NF) BHJ OSC; OSC2: a conventional NF BHJ OSC; and OSC3: a conventional fullerene BHJ OSC. It is found that the overlap of the regions of strong constructive interference of incident and reflected electric fields of electromagnetic waves and those of high photon absorption within the active layer depends on the active layer thickness. An optimal thickness of the active layer can thus be obtained at which this overlap is maximum. We have simulated the rates of total exciton generation and position dependent exciton generation within the active layer as a function of the thicknesses of all the layers in all three OSCs and optimised their structures. Based on our simulated results, the inverted NF BHJ OSC1 is found to have better short circuit current density which may lead to better photovoltaic performance than the other two. It is expected that the results of this paper may provide guidance in fabricating highly efficient and cost effective BHJ OSCs.

Bi-stable resistive switching characteristics in Ti-doped ZnO thin films.

Project description:Ti-doped ZnO (ZnO/Ti) thin films were grown on indium tin oxide substrates by a facile electrodeposition route. The morphology, crystal structure and resistive switching properties were examined, respectively. The morphology reveals that grains are composed of small crystals. The (002) preferential growth along c-axis of ZnO/Ti could be observed from structural analysis. The XPS study shows the presence of oxygen vacancies in the prepared films. Typical bipolar and reversible resistance switching effects were observed. High ROFF/RON ratios (approximately 14) and low operation voltages within 100 switching cycles are obtained. The filament theory and the interface effect are suggested to be responsible for the resistive switching phenomenon.

Impact of Electrodes on Recombination in Bulk Heterojunction Organic Solar Cells.

Project description:In recent years, the efficiency of organic solar cells (OSCs) has increased to more than 13%, although different barriers are on the way for reaching higher efficiencies. One crucial barrier is the recombination of charge carriers, which can either occur as the bulk recombination of photogenerated charges or the recombination of photogenerated charges and electrodic induced charges (EICs). This work studies the impact of EICs on the recombination lifetime in OSCs. To this end, the net recombination lifetime of photogenerated charge carriers in the presence of EICs is measured by means of conventional and newly developed transient photovoltage techniques. Moreover, a new approach has been introduced to exclusively measure the bulk recombination lifetime, i.e., in the absence of EICs; this approach was conducted by depositing transparent insulating layers on both sides of the OSC active layer. An examination of these approaches on OSCs with different active layer materials, thicknesses, and varying light intensities determined that the EICs can only reduce the recombination lifetime of the photogenerated charges in OSCs with very weak recombination strength. This work supports that for OSCs with highly reduced recombination strength, eliminating the recombination of photogenerated charges and EICs is critical for achieving better performance. Therefore, the use of a proper blocking layer suppresses EIC recombination in systems with very weak recombination.

Controlled inter-state switching between quantized conductance states in resistive devices for multilevel memory.

Project description:A detailed understanding of quantization conductance (QC), the correlation with resistive switching phenomena and controlled manipulation of quantized states is crucial for realizing atomic-scale multilevel memory elements. Here, we demonstrate highly stable and reproducible quantized conductance states (QC-states) in Al/niobium oxide/Pt resistive switching devices. Three levels of control over the QC-states, required for multilevel quantized state memories, like, switching ON to different quantized states, switching OFF from quantized states, and controlled inter-state switching among one QC state to another has been demonstrated by imposing limiting conditions of stop-voltage and current compliance. The well-defined multiple QC states along with a working principle for switching among various states show promise for implementation of multilevel memory devices.

Novel Dimethylmethylene-Bridged Triphenylamine-PDI Acceptor for Bulk-Heterojunction Organic Solar Cells.

Project description:A novel, star-shaped electron acceptor, DMTPA-PDI3, derived from a planar dimethylmethylene-bridged triphenylamine core with three acetylene-linked perylene diimide (PDI) units is developed as a nonfullerene acceptor for organic solar cells (OSCs). DMTPA-PDI3 manifests significantly reduced intramolecular twisting, enabling sufficient system-wide π-electron delocalization leading to broadened spectral absorption and raised lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level. As a result, higher and more balanced hole and electron transport properties are observed. Active layers for OSCs comprising DMTPA-PDI3 acceptor and PBT7-Th donor exhibit suppressed intermolecular aggregation, giving rise to uniform nanophase network formation. These OSC devices have afforded respectably high power-conversion efficiency of about 5%.

Columnar-Structured Low-Concentration Donor Molecules in Bulk Heterojunction Organic Solar Cells.

Project description:We investigate the arrangement of donor molecules in vacuum-deposited bulk heterojunction (BHJ) 1,1-bis-(4-bis(4-methyl-phenyl)-amino-phenyl)-cyclohexane (TAPC):C70-based organic solar cells (OSCs). Even a low dose of donors (∼10%) forms columnar structures that provide pathways for efficient hole transport in the BHJ layer; however, these structures disappear at donor concentrations below 10%, generating disconnected and isolated hole pathways. The formation of columnar donor structures is confirmed by the contrast of the contact potential difference, measured by Kelvin probe force microscopy, and by the trap-assisted charge injection at low donor concentrations. The mobility of electrons and holes is well balanced in OSCs owing to the preservation of the hole mobility at such low donor concentrations, consequently maximizing the internal quantum efficiency of the OSCs. A high power conversion efficiency of 6.24% was achieved in inverted TAPC:C70 (1:9) OSCs.
