Abstract
The development of high-performance neuromorphic phototransistors is of paramount importance for image perception and depth memory learning.Here,based on metal-oxide heterojunction architecture,artificial synaptic phototransistors with synaptic plasticity have been achieved,demonstrating an arti-ficial synapse that integrates central and optic nerve functions.Thanks to the sensitive light-detection properties,the optical power consumption of such photonic artificial synapses can be as low as 22 pico-joules,which is extremely competitive compared with other pure metal oxide photoelectric synapses ever reported.What is more,owing to its good short-term(STP)and tunable amplitude-frequency character-istics,the as-constructed device can function as a biomimetic high-pass filter for picture edge detection.Dual-mode synaptic modulation has been performed,combining photonic pulse with gate voltage stim-ulus.After photoelectric-synergistic modulation,the high synaptic weights enable the device to simulate complex neural learning rules for neuromorphic applications,including gesture recognition,image per-ception in the visual system,and classically conditioned reflexes.These results suggest that the current oxide-based heterojunction architecture displays potential application in future multifunction neuromor-phic devices and systems.
