Materials with a high on-off resistance ratio could become the basis for resistive random-access memory (RRAM). Such a “storage class memory” would revolutionize the information technology industry as outlined in [1, 2]. One type of RRAM can be based on hybrid organic-inorganic systems, mainly consisting of inorganic nanoparticles (NP) blended into an organic matrix. The evolution of the morphology and the electronic structure of the hybrid organic-inorganic system composed of gold nanoparticles (NP’s) distributed in an organic matrix - copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) - as a function of nominal gold content was studied by transmission electron microscopy and by surface- and bulk sensitive spectroscopic methods. The gold atoms deposited onto the CuPc surface diffuse into the organic matrix and self-assemble to NP’s. There is no formation of a continuous metallic Au film on top of the CuPc film up to large nominal coverage of about 130 Å considered in the present study. The gold is assembled in well defined NP’s with metallic properties.
