Zusammenfassung:Exceptionally low-voltage operation of organic ferroelectric capacitors and diodes was demonstrated. Ferroelectric polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene [P(VDF-TrFE)] thin films were prepared by the solvent-cast method. Metal-ferroelectric-metal capacitors with 60 - nm -thick P(VDF-TrFE) films exhibited well-saturated hysteresis curves whose coercive voltage ( V c ) and remanent polarization ( P r ) were 2.0 V and 11.9 μ C ∕ cm 2 , respectively. The authors also fabricated metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor diodes with 100 - nm -thick P(VDF-TrFE) films. Rectangular-shaped capacitance-voltage ( C - V ) hysteresis loops were obtained with a voltage sweep range narrower than 5 V . The maximum memory window of 4.7 V was achieved.
