Deskripsi
We demonstrated the effect of a buffer layer on the electrical characteristics of ferroelectric polymer capacitors and field-effect transistors. Various polymer materials with a dielectric constant between 2 and 42 were used to form buffer layers with a similar thicknesses, but with different capacitances. In order to evaluate the characteristics of the ferroelectrics with a buffer layer, the polarization–voltage characteristics of the capacitor, the transfer characteristics, and the retention characteristics of the transistors were investigated. As the capacitance of the buffer layer increased, high remnant polarization (<i>P</i><sub>r</sub>), high hysteresis, and long retention times were observed. Exceptionally, when poly(methylmethacrylate) and rigid poly(aryl ether) (poly(9,9-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)fluorene-<i>co</i>-decafluorobiphenyl)) were used as the buffer layer, <i>P</i><sub>r</sub> had a value close to 0 in the dynamic measurement polarization–voltage (P–V) characteristic, but the quasi-static measurement transfer characteristic and the static measurement retention characteristic showed relatively high hysteresis and long retention times. Our study provides a scientific and technical basis for the design of ferroelectric memory and neuromorphic devices.
