New-Style Logic Operation and Neuromorphic Computing Enabled by Optoelectronic Artificial Synapses in an MXene/Y:HfO Ferroelectric Memristor.

Today's computing systems, to meet the enormous demands of information processing, have driven the development of brain-inspired neuromorphic systems. However, there are relatively few optoelectronic devices in most brain-inspired neuromorphic systems that can simultaneously regulate the conductivity through both optical and electrical signals. In this work, the Au/MXene/Y:HfO/FTO ferroelectric memristor as an optoelectronic artificial synaptic device exhibited both digital and analog resistance switching (RS) behaviors under different voltages with a good switching ratio (>10). Under optoelectronic conditions, optimal weight update parameters and an enhanced algorithm achieved 97.1% recognition accuracy in convolutional neural networks. A new logic gate circuit specifically designed for optoelectronic inputs was established. Furthermore, the device integrates the impact of relative humidity to develop an innovative three-person voting mechanism with a veto power. These results provide a feasible approach for integrating optoelectronic artificial synapses with logic-based computing devices.
