플라즈마 중합 증착기술을 이용하여 ppMMA (plasma polymerized methyl methacrylate) 및 ppS (plasma polymerized styrene) 박막을 제작하고, ppMMA를 게이트 절연층, polymer electret인 ppS를 메모리층으로 한 전계효과트랜지스터 기반 유기 메모리 소자를 제작하였다. 메모리층인 ppS의 두께를 각각 30, 60, 90 nm로 달리한 유기 메모리 소자가 C-V 및 I-V 특성에서 나타내는 히스테리시스 현상을 분석하여 메모리 특성을 평가했으며, 메모리층의 두께 변화에 따른 유기 메모리 소자의 성능을 비교분석하였다.

Organic polymer dielectric thin films of styrene and vinyl acetate were prepared by the plasma polymerization deposition technique and applied for the fabrication of an organic thin film transistor device. The structural properties of the plasma polymerized thin films were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and contact angle measurement. Investigation of the electrical properties of the plasma polymerized thin films was carried out by capacitance-voltage and current-voltage measurements. The organic thin film transistor device with gate dielectric of the plasma polymerized thin film revealed a low operation voltage of −10V and a low threshold voltage of −3V. It was confirmed that plasma polymerized thin films of styrene and vinyl acetate could be applied to functional organic thin film transistor devices as the gate dielectric.

Plasma polymerized styrene (ppS) thin films were prepared on ITO coated glass substrates for a MIM (metal-insulator-metal) structure with thermally evaporated Au thin film as metal contact. Also the ppS thin films were applied as organic insulator to a MIS (metal-insulatorsemiconductor) device with thermally evaporated pentacene thin film as organic semiconductor layer. After the I-V and C-V measurements with MIM and MIS structures, the ppS revealed relatively higher dielectric constant of k=3.7 than those of the conventional poly styrene and very low leakage current density of $1{\times}10^{-8}Acm^{-2}$ at electric field strength of $1MVcm^{-1}$. The MIS structure with the ppS dielectric layer showed negligible hysteresis in C-V characteristics. It would be therefore expected that the proposed ppS could be applied as a promising dielectric/insulator to organic thin film transistors, organic memory devices, and flexible organic electronic devices.
