Abstract
- In this study, we enhance the synaptic behavior of artificial synaptic transistors by utilizing nanowire (NW)-type polysilicon channel structures. The high surface-to-volume ratio of the NW channels enables efficient modulation of the channel conductance, which is interpreted as the synaptic weight. As a result, NW-type synaptic transistors exhibit a larger hysteresis window compared to film-type synaptic transistors, even within the same gate voltage sweeping range. Moreover, NW-type synaptic transistors demonstrate superior short-term facilitation and long-term memory transition compared with film-type ones, as evidenced by the measured paired-pulse facilitation and excitatory post-synaptic current characteristics at varying frequencies and pulse numbers. Additionally, we observed gradual potentiation/depression characteristics, making these artificial synapses applicable to artificial neural networks. Furthermore, the NW-type synaptic transistors exhibit improved Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology pattern recognition rate of 91.2%. In conclusion, NW structure channels are expected to be a promising technology for next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductors, and the integration of NW structure channels has significant potential to advance AI semiconductor technology.
