摘要
To utilize continuous ultralow intensity signals from oxide synaptic transistors as artificial synapses that mimic human visual perception, we propose strategic oxide channels that optimally utilize their advantageous functions by stacking two oxide semiconductors with different conductivities. The bottom amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide (a-IGZO) layer with a relatively low conductivity was designed for an extremely low initial postsynaptic current (PSCi) by achieving full depletion at a low negative gate voltage, and the stacked top amorphous indium-zinc oxide (a-IZO) layer improved the amplitude of the synaptic current and memory retention owing to the enhancement in the persistent photoconductivity characteristics. We demonstrated an excellent photonic synapse thin-film transistor (TFT) with a precise synaptic weight change even in the range of ultralow light intensity by adapting this stacking IGZO/IZO channel. The proposed device exhibited distinct increment PSC values of 3.1 and 18.1 nA under ultralow ultraviolet light (350 nm, 50 ms) of 1.6 and 8.0 mu W/cm(2). In addition, while the lowest light input exhibited short-term plasticity characteristics similar to the "volatile-like" behavior of the human brain with a current recovery close to the initial value, the increase in light intensity caused long-term plasticity characteristics, thus achieving synaptic memory transition in the IGZO/IZO TFTs.
