Abstract

Abstract We demonstrate a field-effect nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM) device made of a graphene nanoribbon (GNR) and a multiferroic epitaxial BiFeO 3 thin film. The GNR and the source/drain electrodes were formed by position-controlled dip-pen nanolithography. The NVRAM device exhibited asymmetric hysteresis behavior originating from the combination of the p -type semiconducting behavior of the GNR and the ferroelectric hysteresis of the BiFeO 3 layer. The memory window of the NVRAM device was significantly improved by a NH 3 annealing process which changed the p -type GNR to n -type.
