Application of organic field-effect transistors in memory

Abstract

Organic semiconductors for electronic devices have attracted much attention in scientific research and industrial applications. In the past few decades, functional organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) have developed rapidly, especially OFETs with memory function. Here, through a detailed introduction of the background, memory mechanism and structure construction, we make a comprehensive summary of memory applications based on OFETs. Further, we describe four types of OFET memories, i.e. floating-gate OFET memory, electret OFET memory, ferroelectric OFET memory, and optoelectronic OFET memory. Finally, we put forward challenges in the development of OFET memory and look forward to the future trend of the development of OFET memory.
