Nonvolatile memory devices based on organic field-effect transistors

Abstract

Among the many possible device configurations for organic memory devices, organic field-effect transistor (OFET) memory is an emerging technology with the potential to realize lightweight, low-cost, flexible charge storage media. In this feature article, the recent progress in the classes of OFET-based memory, including floating gate OFET memory, polymer electret OFET memory, ferroelectric OFET memory and several other kinds of OFET memories with unique configurations, are introduced. Finally, the prospects and problems of OFETs memory are discussed. © 2011 The Author(s).
