A method of manufacturing a nonvolatile organic memory device including a
memory layer interposed between an upper electrode layer and a lower
electrode layer, which includes dispersing ions of conductive
nanoparticles in an organic material disposed between the two electrode
layers and then reducing the ions of conductive nanoparticles into
conductive nanoparticles in the organic material to form a desired memory
layer. In addition, a nonvolatile organic memory device manufactured by
the method of the current invention is also provided. The method allows
the memory device to be manufactured using a rapid, simple, and
environmentally friendly process, without the need for an encapsulation
process. As well, the memory device has a low operating voltage, and
hence, is suitable for application to various portable electronic devices
that must have low power consumption.
