Background
In recent years, with the rapid development of information technology, computer networks based on the conventional von neumann architecture have been difficult to satisfy the demand for information processing. The brain-like computing is a novel computing framework, and is expected to realize simulation of the biological neural network from hardware by means of simulation of a neuromorphic device capable of integrating computing into a whole, so that a classical computing strategy is expected to be fundamentally subverted, an information processing platform which is highly parallel, low in power consumption, highly integrated and capable of being prepared in a high-throughput mode is realized, and the requirements of future distributed computing and artificial intelligence deep development are further met.
In a neuromorphic computing system, an ideal artificial synapse device needs to have the characteristics of low power consumption, continuously adjustable electrical conduction state, good stability and durability and the like. Among neuromorphic devices constructed based on numerous mechanisms, organic electrochemical synapse transistors (OECTs) have received considerable attention from researchers because of the unique ion-electron coupled modulation processes that are very similar to the dynamic processes of ions in biological synapses. In the current research, the electric charge state of the electric double layer of the presynaptic gate/electrolyte interface cannot be maintained for a long time due to the diffusion, migration and interface recombination of carriers, which directly results in short state retention time of the presynaptic device and unstable storage of information. Therefore, how to design a synaptic transistor to have excellent electrochemical ion storage performance and synaptic plasticity is a core challenge in the development of the synaptic devices at present.
