Nylons are one of the most successful commercialized polymers and can also be made to have ferroelectric properties. However, use of nylons in microelectronic devices like ferroelectric field-effect transistors has proven to be challenging due to the difficulty in achieving ferroelectric thin films by solution processing. In this work, we present ferroelectric field-effect transistor (FeFET) memory with a ferroelectric nylon-11 gate. Water quenching allows for the fabrication of ultra-smooth ferroelectric nylon-11 thin films. A bottom-gate top-contact (BGTC) FeFET is successfully demonstrated with a p-type semiconducting polymer, poly(triaryl amine) (PTAA), as a channel. The nylon-11 FeFET shows reliable memory functionality. The demonstration of nylon-11 based FeFETs makes nylons a promising material for applications in organic electronics, such as flexible devices, electronic textiles and biomedical devices.
