Abstract

Abstract Optically stimulated synaptic devices are critical to the development of neuromorphic computing with broad bandwidth and efficient interconnect. Although a few interesting materials have been employed to fabricate optically stimulated synaptic devices, the use of silicon (Si) that is the material of choice for very large-scale integration circuits in the conventional von Neumann computing has not been explored for optically stimulated synaptic devices. Here we take advantage of one of the most important nanostructures of Si — Si nanocrystals (NCs) to make synaptic devices, which can be effectively stimulated by light in the unprecedented broad spectral region from the ultraviolet to near-infrared, approaching the wavelength of ∼ 2 µm. These optically stimulated Si-NC-based synaptic devices demonstrate a series of important synaptic functionalities, well mimicking biological synapses. The plasticity of Si-NC-based synaptic devices originates from the dynamic trapping and release of photogenerated carriers at defects such as dangling bonds at the NC surface. The current facile use of Si NCs in broadband optoelectronic synaptic devices with low energy consumption has important implication for the large-scale deployment of Si in the emerging neuromorphic computing.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
