In this work, concepts for non-volatile organic memory transistors are developed on the basis of charge trapping and floating-gate memory device architectures. The usage of nanoscale dielectrics (self-assembled monolayers, SAMs) enables device operation at low-voltages for mobile applications; flexible substrates (polymeric foils, paper,... ) are accessible by low-temperature processing.

The results for homegenious and mixed SAMs with variations in the molecule geometry (length) and functionality (C60-fullerene moeities) are discussed according to suface morphology,  electrical functionality (memory ratios, switching voltages, retention times, temperature dependence,... ) and demonstrate the future potential of these innovative organic electronic devices.
