In an organic electronic circuit, particularly memory circuit with an
organic ferroelectric or electret material the active material comprises
fluorine atoms and consists of various organic materials. The active
material is located between first and second electrode sets constituting
respectively bottom and top electrodes of the device. A cell with a
capacitor like structure is defined in the active material and can be
accessed for an addressing operation via the electrodes. At least one top
electrode comprises a layer of gold in contact with active material. A
second layer on the top electrode comprises conducting material different
from gold or can alternatively also be made of gold. A via connection
extends between the second electrode layer and a bottom electrode or
another electrode in the bottom electrode layer. In case the second
electrode layer is made of gold the via metal of the via connection can
also be gold and integral with the second electrode layer. In a method
for establishing a top via electrode connection in the device, a first
top electrode layer of gold is deposited and a via hole etched
therethrough and down to the bottom electrode layer, and via metal is
deposited to form a via connection and then a second top electrode layer
is deposited above the first electrode layer of gold and contacting the
via connection.
