  • Abstract
    In this paper, we present a much simpler implementation of the double tunnel junction by utilizing the monodisperse nature of these nanoscale entities. C60 molecules instead of Si NCs are embedded inside the oxide barrier to overcome the limitation on the NC size control. We will further show improved tR I tPE ratio in a metal NC memory integrated with this barrier.
