Patent ID: 7291859

Claim:
An organic electronic device forming a memory circuit, comprising: an organic ferroelectric or electret active material, wherein the active material includes fluorine atoms and comprises single molecules, oligomers, homopolymers, copolymers, or blends or compounds thereof; a first set of electrodes; and a second set of electrodes, wherein the active material is in contact with the first set of electrodes constituting bottom electrodes of the device and the second set of electrodes constituting top electrodes of the device, such that cells with a capacitor-like structure is defined in the active material and can be accessed electrically directly or indirectly via the first and second electrodes wherein at least one of the top electrodes comprises a first electrode layer of gold adjacent to and contacting the active material, a second electrode layer of a conducting material provided over the first layer and contacting a via connection extending through the first electrode layer of gold and the active material down to contact with a bottom electrode or an electrode provided in the same layer as the bottom electrodes.
