Synthesis of thienopyrazine‐ and cyclofluorene–thiophene‐based donor–acceptor low‐band gap polymers and their application in memory devices

Abstract

AbstractLow‐band gap semiconductor polymer materials play a crucial role in the field of organic optoelectronics. In this context, a series of low‐band gap polymers containing thienopyrazine as the acceptor and cyclofluorene–bithiophene as the donor were synthesized and utilized in resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices. These memory devices consistently exhibit nonvolatile flash memory behavior. Remarkably, all three polymers demonstrate stability even after 1000 cycles without significant fluctuations. Notably, the three polymer‐based devices also exhibit excellent ternary memory performance, with current ratios of 1:102.8:104, 1:101.3:103.9, and 1:101.8:103.6. Furthermore, the photoelectric properties of the three polymers and the conduction mechanisms of the memory devices were thoroughly discussed.
