Graphdiyne particles as nano-floating gates for high-performance nonvolatile organic field-effect transistor memory

Graphdiyne particles (GDYP), newcomers of carbon family, were employed as nano -floating gates in organic field-effect transistor (OFET) memories. The charge -trapping layer was prepared by blending GDYP into a polystyrene (PS) matrix. The effect of GDYP doping ratio on memory performances was investigated, and the OFET memory with the optimal doping concentration of the GDYP (0.3 mg/mL) exhibits ambipolar memory behavior with a wide memory window as large as 86 V, excellent retention time over 10 4 s with a high ON/OFF current ratio of 7.5 x 10 5 . This work demonstrates that graphdiyne is a promising charge -trapping material for high-performance nonvolatile OFET memory devices.
