NONVOLATILE MEMORY USING ORGANIC BISTABLE ELEMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an organic bistable element used for a nonvolatile memory. SOLUTION: An organic bistable element 10 comprises first and second metallic electrodes 11 and 16 with first and second organic layers 12 and 15 interposed between the electrodes in a state that a metallic nanocluster layer 13 is interposed between the first and second organic layers 12 and 15. The element further comprises a first electronic block layer 14 interposed between the metallic nanocluster layer 13 and the metallic electrode 16. This configuration makes it possible to obtain an organic bistable element with an improved charge retaining property. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
