Abstract

Nonvolatile memory devices were fabricated with core-shell CdTe-CdSe nanoparticles embedded in a poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) layer to investigate the variations in the electrical properties due to a CdSe shell layer. Capacitance-voltage measurements on Al/CdTe nanoparticles embedded in PVK layer/p-Si devices and on Al/core-shell CdTe-CdSe nanoparticles embedded in PVK layer/p-Si devices at 300 K showed hysteresis behaviors with a flatband voltage shift due to the existence of the CdTe and the CdTe-CdSe nanoparticles. Capacitance-time measurements showed that the retention time for devices fabricated utilizing core-shell CdTe-CdSe nanoparticles was larger than that for devices fabricated utilizing CdTe nanoparticles.
