摘要：

Self-assembled Ni1-xFex nanoparticles embedded in a polyimide (PI) matrix were formed by curing Ni1-xFex thin films with PI precursor layers. Transmission electron microscopy images and selected area electron-diffraction patterns showed that Ni1-xFex nanocrystals were created inside the PI layer. Capacitance-voltage measurements on Al/PI/nanocrystalline Ni1-xFex/PI/n-Si structures at 300 K showed a metal-insulator-semiconductor behavior with a large flatband voltage shift due to the quantum confinement effect of the Ni1-xFex nanocrystals in spite of the possible existence of a thick tunnel PI layer, and conductance-voltage measurements showed a broad conductance peak around the flatband voltage. The present results suggest that self-assembled Ni1-xFex nanocrystals embedded in a PI layer hold promise for potential applications in nonvolatile. flash memories with floating gates consisting of Ni1-xFex nanocrystals embedded in a PI layer.
