Dielectric measurements have been carried out on all-organic metal-insulator-semiconductor structures with the ferroelectric polymer poly(vinylidenefluoride-trifluoroethylene) as the gate insulator. It is shown that the polarization states remain stable after poling with accumulation and depletion voltage. However, negative charge trapped at the semiconductor-insulator interface during the depletion cycle masks the negative shift in flatband voltage expected during the sweep to accumulation voltages.
Organic based FeFETs have been studied using current voltage measurements. Evidence is presented supporting the idea that, during the application of a sequence of poling cycles, electrons become permanently fixed at the insulator/semiconductor interface probably trapped on the positively charged surfaces of ferroelectrically polarized poly(vi nylidenefluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE» crystalites at the interface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
