Abstract

A uniform monolayer of alkanethiol-protected gold nanoparticle arrays with ultrahigh density have been used as microcontact-printable charge-trapping layers for the application in flexible flash memories. The new devices are compared to two reference devices with a floating gate created by thermal evaporation and electrostatic self-assembly, and show a large memory window, long retention times and good endurance properties.
