Devices having high dielectric constant, ionically-polarizable materials

摘要

An electronic or electro-optic device has a first electrode, a second electrode spaced apart from the first electrode, and a dielectric layer disposed between the first and second electrodes. The dielectric layer has electrically insulating planar layers with intercalated ions therebetween such that the electrically insulating planar layers provide a barrier to impede movement of the intercalated ions to the first and second electrodes under an applied voltage while permitting a polarization of the dielectric layer while in operation.

1. An electronic or electro-optic device, comprising:
a first electrode; a second electrode spaced apart from said first electrode; a hybrid semiconductor-dielectric layer disposed between said first electrode and said second electrode; and a dielectric layer disposed between said first and second electrodes, wherein said dielectric layer comprises electrically insulating planar layers with intercalated ions therebetween, said electrically insulating planar layers providing a barrier to impede movement of said intercalated ions to said first and second electrodes under an applied voltage while permitting a polarization of said dielectric layer while in operation, and wherein said hybrid semiconductor-dielectric layer comprises molecules that have a semiconducting portion and a dielectric portion.
