摘要: This work illustrates a novel device for storing electronic charge and works as non-volatile memory device. It is fabricated using an industrial technique consists of silicon nanostructures diamond like carbon (DLC) element ultra-thin barrier layer respectively. Both the DLC have been deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) technique. The are sandwiched between two layers. To understand ability to store current-voltage (I-V) current-time (I-t) measurements were carried out. effect noted difference electrical conductivity states (low ‘‘0’’ high ‘‘1’’).
