摘要: We have demonstrated the electrical modification of a conductive polymer for data storage using scanning probe microscope (SPM). A blend polyaniline and polymethyl-methacrylate as was spun on silicon substrate to make test specimen. The tip SPM placed in contact with carried out by applying voltage between polymer. conductance image simultaneous topographic were taken SPM. It found that conductivity decreased more than 20 times this modification. Measurement shows no obvious change surface topography modified area. I–V characteristics suggests chemical reaction occurred at an applied about 3.2 V.
