Comparison of flash-memory elements using materials based on graphene

Charge capture on flash-memory test structures with floating gates made of graphene (few-layer graphene) and its compounds (graphene oxide and partially fluorinated graphene) is investigated. A comparison of the memory window for different structures has shown the potential of using reduced graphene oxide, graphene with only a few layers, and fluorographene. For the first time, partially fluorinated graphene has been employed as a floating gate in flash-memory structures. Graphene-based materials are promising for 2D printing technologies and flexible electronics.
