| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, the research has been done for understanding a polarization-induced resistive switching phenomenon in ferroelectrics and establishing a nonvolatile memory. We observed a clear polarization reversal-induced resistance switching effect in ferroelectric Vinylidene-fluoride (VDF)/Trifluoroethylene (TrFE) copolymer thin films. Pt and Au were used as the bottom and top electrodes, respectively, and the thickness of the VDF/TrFE copolymer film was adjusted to be 10 nm. The conduction current was 100 times higher in the case of the spontaneous polarization of the VDF/TrFE film towards the Au electrode than that in the case of the opposite direction. This resistance switching was confirmed to be reproducible after 10 successive polarization reversals. Thus, we concluded that the film based on the structure can work as a novel resistive switching memory.
