Abstract

Current synaptic characteristics focus on replicating basic biological operations, but developing devices that combine photoelectric responsiveness and multifunctional simulation remains challenging. An optoelectronic transistor is presented, utilizing a PMHT / Al 2 O 3 heterostructure for photoreception, memory storage, and computation. This artificial synaptic transistor processes optical and electrical signals efficiently, mimicking biological synapses. The work presents four logic functions: “AND”, “OR”, “NOR”, and “NAND”. It demonstrates electrical synaptic plasticity, optical synaptic plasticity, sunburned skin simulation, a photoelectric cooperative stimulation model for improving learning efficiency, and memory functions. The development of heterostructure synaptic transistors and their photoelectric response enhances their application in neuromorphic computation.
