  • Tuning memory window characteristics by controlling gold nanoparticle concentration.
  • Main Results:

    • Well-ordered gold nanoparticle/block copolymer hybrid films were achieved with up to 40 wt % gold nanoparticle loading.
    • The memory window characteristics were successfully tuned by varying the gold nanoparticle concentration.
    • Solution processing enabled the fabrication of ordered charge storage layers.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed hybrid films offer a promising approach for creating efficient charge trapping layers in floating gate memory devices.
    • This method is scalable for large-area and high-density device fabrication using roll-to-roll processing.
    • The selective hydrogen bonding between gold nanoparticles and the block copolymer facilitates the formation of well-ordered structures.
