Abstract

Metal chemical compound nanoparticles square measure embedded in a very polyimide matrix by a reaction between a metal skinny film and polyamic acid. The electrical characteristics of the ZnO nanoparticles square measure investigated with a floating gate condenser structure by capacitance-voltage (C–V) measure. The C–V characteristics ensuing from metal deposition modulation and also the existence of a SiO2 layer also are investigated. As a result, ZnO particles with a SiO2 tunneling barrier show a C–V physical phenomenon voltage gap of 2.8V at three hundred K. ZnO particles directly set on a Si substrate show a C–V physical phenomenon dimension of 1.5V at 80K. This electrical characterization is mentioned for applications to nano floating-gate memory devices.
