Highly reproducible memory effect of organic multilevel resistive-switch device utilizing graphene oxide sheets/polyimide hybrid nanocomposite

摘要

The functionalization of graphene oxide (GO) sheets with polyimide (PI) enables the layer-by-layer fabrication of a GO-PI hybrid resistive-switch device and leads to high reproducibility of the memory effect. The current-voltage curves for the as-fabricated device exhibit multilevel resistive-switch properties under various reset voltages. The capacitance-voltage characteristics for a capacitor based on GO-PI nanocomposite indicate that the electrical switching may originate from the charge trapping in GO sheets. The high device-to-device uniformity and unique memory properties of the device make it an attractive candidate for applications in next-generation high-density nonvolatile flash memories.
