摘要
A new approach is exploited to realize nonvolatile organic write-once-read-many-times (WORM) memory based on copper phthalocyanine (CuPc)/hexadecafluoro-copper-phthalocyanine (F16CuPc) p-n junction. The as-fabricated device is found to be at its ON state and can be programmed irreversibly to the OFF state by applying a negative bias. The WORM device exhibits a high ON/OFF current ratio of up to 2.6 x 10(4). An interfacial dipole layer is testified to be formed and destructed at the p-n junction interface for the ON and OFF states, respectively. The ON state at positive voltage region is attributed to the efficient hole and electron injection from the respective electrodes and then recombination at the CuPc/F16CuPc interface, and the transition of the device to the OFF state results from the destruction of the interfacial dipole layer and formation of an insulating layer which restricts charge carrier recombination at the interface.
