High-Performance C Coupled Ferroelectric Enhanced MoS Nonvolatile Memory.

Nonvolatile memory (NVM) devices based on two-dimensional (2D) materials have recently attracted widespread attention due to their high-density integration potential and the ability to be applied in computing-in-memory systems in the post-Moore era. Considering the high current on/off ratio, programmable threshold voltage, nonvolatile multilevel memory state, and extended logic functions, plenty of breakthroughs related to ferroelectric field-effect transistors (FeFETs), one of the most important NVM devices, have been made in the past decade. Among them, FETs coupled with organic ferroelectric films such as P(VDF-TrFE) displayed properties of remarkable robustness, easy preparation, and low cost. However, the dipoles of the P(VDF-TrFE) film cannot be flipped smoothly at low voltage, impeding the further application of organic FeFET. In this paper, we proposed a high-performance FeFET based on monolayer MoS coupled with C doped ferroelectric copolymer P(VDF-TrFE). The inserted C molecules enhanced the alignment of the dipoles effectively at low voltage, allowing the modified device to demonstrate a large memory window (∼16 V), high current on/off ratio (>10), long retention time (>10 000 s), and remarkable endurance under the reduced operating voltage. In addition, the in situ logic application can be realized by constructing facile device interconnection without building complex complementary semiconductor circuits. Our results are expected to pave the way for future low-consumption computing-in-memory applications based on high-quality 2D FeFETs.
