This study demonstrates a facile way to efficiently induce strong memory behavior from common p-type conjugated polymers by adding n-type dopant 2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzoimidazole. The n-type doped p-channel conjugated polymers not only enhance n-type charge transport characteristics of the polymers, but also facilitate to storage charges and cause reversible bistable (ON and OFF states) switching upon application of gate bias. The n-type doped memory shows a large memory window of up to 47 V with an on/off current ratio larger than 10 000. The charge retention time can maintain over 100 000 s. Similar memory behaviors are also observed in other common semiconducting polymers such as poly(3-hexyl thiophene) and poly[2,5-bis(3-tetradecylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b] thiophene], and a high mobility donor-acceptor polymer, poly(isoindigo-bithiophene). In summary, these observations suggest that this approach is a general method to induce memory behavior in conjugated polymers. To the best of the knowledge, this is the first report for p-type polymer memory achieved using n-type charge-transfer doping.
