Title:
ORGANIC MOLECULAR MEMORY AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/127542
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An organic molecular memory for controlling a current flowing through a memory cell and achieving stable operation and high degree of reliability is provided. The organic molecular memory includes a first electrode, a second electrode made of a material different from the first electrode, and an organic molecule layer provided between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein one end of a resistance change-type molecular chain constituting the organic molecule layer is chemically bonded with the first electrode, and an air gap exists between the other end of the resistance change-type molecular chain and the second electrode.
