Flexible resistive switching bistable memory devices using ZnO nanoparticles embedded in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS).

ABSTRACT: The resistive switching memory effects in metal-insulator-metal devices with aluminium (Al) as top electrode (TE) and bottom electrode (BE). A solution processed active layer consisting of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles embedded in an insulating polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix and polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) has been studied by using flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates. The current-voltage (I-V) measurements of hybrid Al/ZnO-PVA/PEDOT:PSS/Al/flexible PET substrate device exhibited a non-volatile bistable resistive switching behaviour, which is attributed to the trapping, storage and transport of charges in the electronic states of the ZnO nanoparticles. The performance of hybrid device is significantly enhanced ov
