Organic semiconductors for advanced memory applications: miniaturisation through integration.

The further miniaturisation of current memory technology ¿ based on silicon ¿ will become impossible in the near future. A promising alternative is the development of technology based on organic semiconductors. Using an iterative procedure consisting of synthesis and evaluation, the memory properties of three classes of organic compounds (distyrylbenzenes, diphenylcarbodiimides and organometallic oligomers) will be investigated. In the end, this should lead to a superior material and increased insight into the fundamental mechanisms of organic memories.
