Abstract :
We demonstrate a stacked antifuse-based field-programmable memory utilizing organic materials on plastic to enable applications such as the encoding of low-cost RFID tags. We demonstrate 2 stacked levels with 100 bits/level, delivering excellent read margins and disturb immunity. These devices show high-speed programming capability (25ns) and ultra-low programming energy requirements of <1nW/bit. This technology is therefore extremely promising for plastic electronics applications
