With the development of the information age, novel transistor-based non-volatile memories have demonstrated more and more application potential, and thus attract extensive attention and investigation. In this paper, the zinc selenide/zinc sulfide core-shell quantum dots(ZnSe@ZnS QDs)with type-I energy band structure, which act as charge-trapping and tunneling centers, are integrated into a graphene transistor, rendering a non-volatile memory with multiple programming methods. The quantum dots are able to storage both electrons and holes so that the channel conductance of the graphene transistor can be adjusted by either positive or negative pulse gate voltage for information storage. A battery of characterizations show that the device has a large storage windows of 60 V, a good retention performance in 10 h test range and an excellent endurance performance in the process of multiple writing and erasing. In addition, this device can also use light illumination as an auxiliary programming method, where ultraviolet light is used to erase the written charge, demonstrating a benign electrically writing-optically erasing function. This work shows that the core-shell QDs are good charge storage media and have great application potential in transistor-based non-volatile memories. At the same time, due to the excellent optoelectronic properties of semiconductor QDs, applying QDs in memories can empower the device with optoelectronic programming functionality.
