Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of bionic neuromorphic systems, and in particular relates to a self-powered sensory neuromorphic system. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence (AI), efficient and energy-efficient data storage and computation have become pressing challenges. Traditional von Neumann-based computing often results in extremely high latency and low efficiency due to the separate storage and computation units. The resulting memory wall problem has limited further computer development. The biological brain boasts high efficiency, low power consumption, parallel computing, and autonomous cognition. Brain-inspired, self-powered biomimetic neuromorphic systems, integrating multi-sensory capabilities, are crucial components for breaking through the von Neumann bottleneck in next-generation AI technology.

[0003] Because current multisensory neuromorphic systems based on two-terminal memristors and three-terminal transistors require an additional power supply, achieving efficient, low-energy, and fast computing is difficult. To address this issue, Patent Publication No. CN118310656A discloses a self-powered biomimetic tactile neuron device, its preparation method, and applications. This self-powered biomimetic tactile neuron device comprises a protective layer, a pressure-sensing layer, and a signal-transmitting electrode layer stacked in sequence; the protective layer comprises a polymer film; and the pressure-sensing layer is a composite ion hydrogel film comprising a lithium salt, polyolefinic acid, and polyethylene terephthalate fiber. This self-powered biomimetic tactile neuron device features self-power, high sensitivity, a wide linear sensing range, excellent stability, and biocompatibility. It can also simulate the spatiotemporal signal integration function of neurons, making it suitable for pressure sensing and electrophysiological stimulation-based neural regulation. Furthermore, while self-powered neuromorphic systems can improve energy consumption, they are primarily designed to simulate a single biological sense and cannot meet the demands of the current era of the Internet of Things, which requires the simultaneous interaction of multiple senses.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the self-powered bionic neuromorphic system integrating multiple sensory functions includes a lower substrate 100, a lower electrode layer 101, a photoelectric sensitive signal processing layer (high dielectric performance insulating material 102 + light-absorbing material 103), an upper electrode layer 104, and an upper substrate 105; the upper electrode layer and the lower electrode layer serve as charge transfer electrodes and voltage and current output electrodes of the self-powered bionic neuromorphic system, and the photoelectric sensitive signal processing layer serves as the multi-sensory perception layer and charge transfer layer of the self-powered bionic neuromorphic system, and outputs multiple perception processing signals between the upper electrode and the lower electrode.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] A self-powered sensory neuromorphic system integrating multiple sensory functions, such as Figure 1 As shown, the lower substrate 100 and the upper substrate 105 of the self-powered bionic neuromorphic system are polyethylene terephthalate, the lower electrode layer 101 and the upper electrode layer 104 are metallic copper, the high dielectric performance insulating material 102 in the photoelectric sensitive signal processing layer is polydimethylsiloxane, and the light-absorbing material 103 is nitrogen carbonide.

[0035] The method for preparing the self-powered bionic neuromorphic system comprises the following steps:

[0036] 1. Clean the polyethylene terephthalate substrate. Cut the polyethylene terephthalate into 2cm*2cm squares. Then, clean the substrate with deionized water, ethanol, or other solutions to obtain a clean substrate.

[0037] 2. Prepare the upper and lower electrode layers by sputtering the indium tin oxide material onto a clean polyethylene terephthalate substrate in a vacuum environment using a magnetron sputtering instrument. The thickness of the sputtered indium tin oxide material is 200 nm.

[0038] 3. Preparation of photoelectric sensitive signal processing layer: Prepare polydimethylsiloxane solution (PDMS), use a rubber-tipped dropper to take glue A and glue B (Dow Corning Sylgard 182), where the mass ratio of glue A to glue B is 10:1, and then stir glue A and glue B thoroughly to remove bubbles and set aside; use a pipette to take the fully mixed polydimethylsiloxane solution and MXene solution with a concentration of 10 mg / mL, the mass ratio of the two solutions is 10:1, and stir them thoroughly to remove bubbles, and then use a spin coater to spin coat the stirred and defoamed solution at a speed of 1000 rpm / s for 60 seconds to form a uniform thin film, and finally anneal at 80°C for 12 hours to form a photoelectric sensitive layer with a thickness of 700 μm.

[0039] The working principle of the self-powered bionic neuromorphic system in simulating touch and hearing is as follows: when the upper electrode contacts the photoelectric sensitive signal processing layer, due to the different electronegativity of the two materials, the electrons of the upper electrode are transferred to the surface of the photoelectric signal processing layer where electrons are easily available. At the same time, due to the energy level matching between carbon nitride and polydimethylsiloxane, the obtained electrons are easily transferred to the interior of the carbon nitride and bound there; then, as the number of presses or contacts increases, more and more electrons are bound inside the carbon nitride to form an excitatory postsynaptic voltage. The principle diagram is shown in FIG. Figure 2 shown.

[0040] The test process of the self-powered bionic neuromorphic system in simulating touch is as follows: the upper and lower electrodes of the system are connected through an oscilloscope, and the touch is simulated by a pulse stepping device to achieve contact and separation between the upper electrode and the photoelectric sensitive layer. The voltage signal generated at the same time is recorded by the oscilloscope. The schematic diagram of the tactile output response curve is shown in FIG. Figure 4 shown.

At the same time, a pulse light source is used to simulate visual behavior, and the generated voltage signal is recorded by the oscilloscope. The schematic diagram of the tactile + visual output response curve is shown in FIG. Figure 5 shown.

[0044] The self-powered bionic neuromorphic system simulates the neuromorphic behavior of hearing as follows: the vibration generated by the sound will cause the internal electrodes of the self-powered bionic neuromorphic system to contact with the photoelectric sensitive signal processing layer, thereby achieving surface charge transfer and excitatory postsynaptic voltage;

[0050] 2. Prepare the upper and lower electrode layers. Use a high-temperature vacuum metal evaporation instrument to evaporate silver material onto a clean glass substrate under a vacuum environment. The thickness of the evaporated silver material is 300nm.

[0051] 3. Preparation of photoelectric sensitive signal processing layer: prepare polydimethylsiloxane solution (PDMS), use a glue-tipped dropper to take glue A and glue B (Dow Corning Sylgard 182), where the mass ratio of glue A to glue B is 10:1, and then stir glue A and glue B thoroughly to remove bubbles and set aside; use a pipette to take the fully mixed polydimethylsiloxane solution and a quantum dot solution (CdSe / ZnS core-shell structure quantum dots) with a concentration of 5 mg / mL, the mass ratio of the two solutions is 10:1, and stir them thoroughly to remove bubbles, and then use a spin coater to spin coat the stirred and defoamed solution at a speed of 1500 rpm / s for 60 seconds to form a uniform thin film, and finally anneal at 80°C for 12 hours to form a photoelectric sensitive layer with a thickness of 500 μm.
