Origin of multi-level switching and telegraphic noise in organic nanocomposite memory devices.
The origin of negative differential resistance (NDR) and its derivative intermediate resistive states (IRSs) of nanocomposite memory systems have not been clearly analyzed for the past decade. To address this issue, we investigate the current fluctuations of organic nanocomposite memory devices with NDR and the IRSs under various temperature conditions. The 1/f noise scaling behaviors at various temperature conditions in the IRSs and telegraphic noise in NDR indicate the localized current pathways in the organic nanocomposite layers for each IRS. The clearly observed telegraphic noise with a long characteristic time in NDR at low temperature indicates that the localized current pathways for the IRSs are attributed to trapping/de-trapping at the deep trap levels in NDR. This study will be useful for the development and tuning of multi-bit storable organic nanocomposite memory device systems
Controllable deposition of organic metal halide perovskite films with wafer-scale uniformity by single source flash evaporation
Conventional solution-processing techniques such as the spin-coating method have been used successfully to reveal excellent properties of organic-inorganic halide perovskites (OHPs) for optoelectronic devices such as solar cell and light-emitting diode, but it is essential to explore other deposition techniques compatible with large-scale production. Single-source flash evaporation technique, in which a single source of materials of interest is rapidly heated to be deposited in a few seconds, is one of the candidate techniques for large-scale thin film deposition of OHPs. In this work, we investigated the reliability and controllability of the single-source flash evaporation technique for methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI(3)) perovskite. In-depth statistical analysis was employed to demonstrate that the MAPbI(3) films prepared via the flash evaporation have an ultrasmooth surface and uniform thickness throughout the 4-inch wafer scale. We also show that the thickness and grain size of the MAPbI(3) film can be controlled by adjusting the amount of the source and number of deposition steps. Finally, the excellent large-area uniformity of the physical properties of the deposited thin films can be transferred to the uniformity in the device performance of MAPbI(3) photodetectors prepared by flash evaporation which exhibited the responsivity of 0.2 A/W and detectivity of 3.82x10(11) Jones.

Highly Reliable Superhydrophobic Protection for Organic Field-Effect Transistors by Fluoroalkylsilane-Coated TiO2 Nanoparticles.
One of the long-standing problems in the field of organic electronics is their instability in an open environment, especially their poor water resistance. For the reliable operation of organic devices, introducing an effective protection layer using organo-compatible materials and processes is highly desirable. Here, we report a facile method for the depositing of an organo-compatible superhydrophobic protection layer on organic semiconductors under ambient conditions. The protection layer exhibiting excellent water-repellent and self-cleaning properties was deposited onto organic semiconductors directly using a dip-coating process in a highly fluorinated solution with fluoroalkylsilane-coated titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles. The proposed protection layer did not damage the underlying organic semiconductors and had good resistance against mechanical-, thermal-, light-stress-, and water-based threats. The protected organic field-effect transistors exhibited more-reliable electrical properties, even when exposed to strong solvents, due to its superhydrophobicity. This study provides a practical solution with which to enhance the reliability of environmentally sensitive organic semiconductor devices in the natural environment

1/<i>f</i> Noise Scaling Analysis in Unipolar-Type Organic Nanocomposite Resistive Memory
We studied noise characteristics of a nanocomposite of polyimide (PI) and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) (denoted as PI:PCBM), a composite for the organic nonvolatile resistive memory material. The current fluctuations were investigated over a bias range that covers various intermediate resistive states and negative differential resistance (NDR) in organic nanocomposite unipolar resistive memory devices. From the analysis of the 1/<i>f</i><sup>Ī³</sup> type noises, scaling behavior between the relative noise power spectral density <i>SĢ</i> and resistance <i>R</i> was observed, indicating a percolating behavior. Considering a linear rate equation of the charge trappingādetrapping at traps, the percolation behavior and NDR could be understood by the modulation of the conductive phase fraction Ļ with an external bias. This study can enhance the understanding of the NDR phenomena in organic nanocomposite unipolar resistive memory devices in terms of the current path formation and the memory switching
