Abstract(in English) We have successfully fabricated air-stable organic nonvolatile memories comprising ferroelectric field-effect transistors on plastic substrates. Using a ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) copolymer as a gate insulator, we have obtained large hysteresis in transistor switching and realized bistable states in channel conductivity with high "1" and low "0". Organic memories have thus far had the problem of degradation in ambient air. In this study, the passivation method using parylene and metal multiple layers has successfully improved memory data retention in air. The "1"/"0" current ratio in memory transistors exceeds 1000 in air. High ratio above 100 is obtained when they are stored for 25 days in N2 atmosphere although voltages are not applied. Furthermore, in air our memory devices show high "1"/"0" ratio above 500 after 15 days, and the variation is suppressed within 7% compared to N2 atmosphere. This result clearly demonstrates that our organic devices are excellent nonvolatile memories with high air-stability.
