Two-dimensional ferroelectric channel transistors integrating ultra-fast memory and neural computing.

ABSTRACT: With the advent of the big data era, applications are more data-centric and energy efficiency issues caused by frequent data interactions, due to the physical separation of memory and computing, will become increasingly severe. Emerging technologies have been proposed to perform analog computing with memory to address the dilemma. Ferroelectric memory has become a promising technology due to field-driven fast switching and non-destructive readout, but endurance and miniaturization are limited. Here, we demonstrate the ?-In₂Se₃ ferroelectric semiconductor channel device that integrates non-volatile memory and neural computation functions. Remarkable performance includes ultra-fast write speed of 40?ns, improved endurance through the internal electric field, flexible adjustment of neural plasticity, ultra-low energy consumption of 234/40 fJ per event for excitation/inhibition, and thermally modulated 94.74% high-precision iris recognition classification simulation. This prototypical demonstration lays the foundation for an integrated memory computing system with high density and energy efficiency.

Project description:Nanostructures, which have sizes comparable to biological functional units involved in cellular communication, offer the potential for enhanced sensitivity and spatial resolution compared to planar metal and semiconductor structures. Silicon nanowire (SiNW) field-effect transistors (FETs) have been used as a platform for biomolecular sensors, which maintain excellent signal-to-noise ratios while operating on lengths scales that enable efficient extra- and intracellular integration with living cells. Although the NWs are tens of nanometers in diameter, the active region of the NW FET devices typically spans micrometers, limiting both the length and time scales of detection achievable with these nanodevices. Here, we report a new synthetic method that combines gold-nanocluster-catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) and vapor-solid-solid (VSS) NW growth modes to produce synthetically encoded NW devices with ultrasharp (<5 nm) n-type highly doped (n(++)) to lightly doped (n) transitions along the NW growth direction, where n(++) regions serve as source/drain (S/D) electrodes and the n-region functions as an active FET channel. Using this method, we synthesized short-channel n(++)/n/n(++) SiNW FET devices with independently controllable diameters and channel lengths. SiNW devices with channel lengths of 50, 80, and 150 nm interfaced with spontaneously beating cardiomyocytes exhibited well-defined extracellular field potential signals with signal-to-noise values of ca. 4 independent of device size. Significantly, these "pointlike" devices yield peak widths of ?500 ?s, which is comparable to the reported time constant for individual sodium ion channels. Multiple FET devices with device separations smaller than 2 ?m were also encoded on single SiNWs, thus enabling multiplexed recording from single cells and cell networks with device-to-device time resolution on the order of a few microseconds. These short-channel SiNW FET devices provide a new opportunity to create nanoscale biomolecular sensors that operate on the length and time scales previously inaccessible by other techniques but necessary to investigate fundamental, subcellular biological processes.
