Fully Printed Zinc Oxide Electrolyte-Gated Transistors on Paper.

ABSTRACT: Fully printed and flexible inorganic electrolyte gated transistors (EGTs) on paper with a channel layer based on an interconnected zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticle matrix are reported in this work. The required rheological properties and good layer formation after printing are obtained using an eco-friendly binder such as ethyl cellulose (EC) to disperse the ZnO nanoparticles. Fully printed devices on glass substrates using a composite solid polymer electrolyte as gate dielectric exhibit saturation mobility above 5 cm² V-1 s-1 after annealing at 350 °C. Proper optimization of the nanoparticle content in the ink allows for the formation of a ZnO channel layer at a maximum annealing temperature of 150 °C, compatible with paper substrates. These devices show low operation voltages, with a subthreshold slope of 0.21 V dec-1, a turn on voltage of 1.90 V, a saturation mobility of 0.07 cm² V-1 s-1 and an Ion/Ioff ratio of more than three orders of magnitude.

Project description:Organic synaptic transistors are a promising technology for advanced electronic devices with simultaneous computing and memory functions and for the application of artificial neural networks. In this study, the neuromorphic electrical characteristics of organic synaptic electrolyte-gated transistors are correlated with the microstructural and interfacial properties of the active layers. This is accomplished by utilizing a semiconducting/insulating polyblend-based pseudobilayer with embedded source and drain electrodes, referred to as PB-ESD architecture. Three variations of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) PB-ESD-based organic synaptic transistors are fabricated, each exhibiting distinct microstructures and electrical characteristics, thus serving excellent samples for exploring the critical factors influencing neuro-electrical properties. Poor microstructures of P3HT within the active layer and a flat active layer/ion-gel interface correspond to typical neuromorphic behaviors such as potentiated excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC), paired-pulse facilitation (PPF), and short-term potentiation (STP). Conversely, superior microstructures of P3HT and a rough active layer/ion-gel interface correspond to significantly higher channel conductance and enhanced EPSC and PPF characteristics as well as long-term potentiation behavior. Such devices were further applied to the simulation of neural networks, which produced a good recognition accuracy. However, excessive PMMA penetration into the P3HT conducting channel leads to features of a depressed EPSC and paired-pulse depression, which are uncommon in organic synaptic transistors. The inclusion of a second gate electrode enables the as-prepared organic synaptic transistors to function as two-input synaptic logic gates, performing various logical operations and effectively mimicking neural modulation functions. Microstructure and interface engineering is an effective method to modulate the neuromorphic behavior of organic synaptic transistors and advance the development of bionic artificial neural networks.
