We have observed a pronounced resistive memory effect with an on/off ratio of ∼2 in 3‐aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) molecular multilayers trapped with NH + 3 ions. The APTMS multilayers were deposited on SiO 2 /Si(p ++ ) substrates using a self‐assembly process and characterized using various techniques, such as water contact angle, elliposmetery, X‐ray photoelectron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy. The current–voltage characteristics of Hg/APTMS multilayer/Si(p ++ ) devices, in the negative bias region, exhibited a reproducible hysteresis effect along with a negative differential resistance. A plausible explanation of the observed hysteresis in terms of filling and de‐filling of the positive ion traps is proposed. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
