Abstract
Graphical abstractDisplay Omitted Highlights? PMSSQ embedded with AuNPs as an active material for non-volatile memory. ? Programming characteristics of nanocomposite based non-volatile memory. ? High charge storage capability. An organic-inorganic (hybrid) nanocomposite layer as non-volatile memory (NVM) using sol-gel polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSSQ) embedded with gold (Au) nanoparticles has been presented in this article. The NVM is based on a capacitor structure. The Au nanoparticles used in this work were synthesized by chemical reduction method whereas the PMSSQ sol-gel was prepared by using trimethoxymethylsilane (CH3Si(OCH3)3), n-BuOH and de-ionized water. The current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics of the device have been performed. The aim was to enhance the charge storage capability of the previously studied 1-3] PMSSQ nanocomposite layer based non-volatile memory (NVM), which has been successfully increased up to 100%. The NVM is based on a capacitor structure. The memory cell showed good programmed/erased characteristics.
