CBRAM devices with a water casted solid polymer electrolyte for flexible electronic applications

In this work, an eco-friendly polymer consisting of Polyethylene Oxide (PEO) is employed to achieve the solid electrolyte layer of Conductive-Bridge Random Access Memory devices (CBRAM). In an attempt to move towards green solvent, water was used to fabricate the devices on polyimide substrates. The devices show promising electrical performance with low operating voltages (<; 2.0 V), high endurance cycles with high OFF/ON resistance ratio (>104) and resistance to mechanical stresses. These results achieve a promising step toward the sustainable development of flexible electronic devices.
