Organic Nonvolatile Memories

Abstract

We have briefly reviewed the development of organic memories. Due to the space limitation, there may be much more work on organic memories that has been omitted here. Organic memories are promising, considering their advantages of potential low cost, flexibility, and easy of fabrication, but there is still a distance to go before they are ready for real application. For most organic memories, the retention times and the device stability are the issues that need to be overcome before application. Organic materials incorporated with inorganic materials or metal nanoclusters may be a solution. We sincerely hope that these issues will be solved in the near future.
