[0069] The thickness of the thin film was measured by a step profiler and further confirmed by a scanning electron microscope.

[0070] The prepared organic semiconductor heterojunction photoelectric self-adaptive memristor was tested for performance by using a Keithley 4200 SCS semiconductor parameter analyzer. The results are as follows:

[0071] Figure 2 The positive and negative current-voltage curves of the single-layer ZnPc memristor lacking PTCDI-C13 in Example 2 are shown in FIG. 6. The device exhibits the characteristics of positive enhancement and negative suppression of the response current with the number of cycles; Figure 2

[0072] Figure 3 The positive and negative current-voltage curves of the single-layer PTCDI-C13 memristor lacking ZnPc in Example 3 are shown in FIG. 7. The device exhibits the characteristics of bidirectional suppression of the response current with the number of cycles; Figure 2

[0073] Figure 4 The negative current-voltage curve of the memristor in Example 1 is shown in FIG. 8. Figure 5 The conductance-cycle number graph extracted based on the negative current-voltage curve of the memristor in Example 1 is shown in FIG. 9. As shown in FIG. 9, the negative response current of the device gradually increases in the first and second cycles, and the negative response current of the device gradually suppresses from the third cycle. As shown in FIG. 10, the conductance extracted from the current-voltage curve of the device gradually increases and then decreases with the increase of the number of cycles. Compared with the single-layer active layer devices in Examples 2 and 3, the memristor of the present application has the characteristics of first enhancement and then suppression of the response current; Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 4 Figure 2 Figure 3

[0074] Figure 6 The negative "read, write, erase" cycle curve of the memristor in Example 1 is shown in FIG. 11. As shown in FIG. 11, under the continuous negative pulse stimulation, with the increase of the number of pulses, the response current of the device changes from enhancement to first enhancement and then suppression. Figure 6

[0075] Figure 7 The negative holding time test of the memristor in Example 1 under different voltages is shown in FIG. 12. The holding current changes from suppression at -7 volts to first enhancement and then suppression at -8 volts, -9 volts and -10 volts, and then changes to enhancement at -11 volts. Figure 7

[0076] The response current graph of the negative "read, write, erase" cycle test of the memristor in Example 1 under different pulse frequency amplitude values is shown in FIG. 13. As shown in FIG. 13, under the continuous negative pulse stimulation, with the increase of the number of pulses, the response current of the device changes from enhancement to first enhancement and then suppression. Figure 8 Figure 8 ​​​​​​​​​As shown, the device was subjected to negative "read, write, erase" cycle tests at different pulse amplitudes. The response current changed from suppression at -7V to enhancement followed by suppression at -8V, -9V, and -10V, and then to enhancement at -11V.

[0077] Figure 9 This is a response current diagram of the memristor under different pulse frequencies during a negative "read, write, erase" cycle test in Example 1; as shown... Figure 9 As shown, the device was subjected to negative "read, write, erase" cycle tests at different pulse frequencies. The device response current showed a phenomenon that it was enhanced under low-frequency (0.46 Hz) stimulation and then first enhanced and then suppressed under high-frequency (2.3 Hz) stimulation. This indicates that as the stimulation frequency increases, the device exhibits desensitization behavior, and the faster the frequency, the more obvious the desensitization phenomenon.

[0078] Figure 10 The image shows the photoresponse current diagram of the memristor under different light intensities in Example 1; as shown. Figure 10 As shown, the photoresponse current of the device was tested under different light intensities at a wavelength of 400 nm. The device exhibited a phenomenon of photoresponse current enhancement under weak light and photoresponse current suppression under strong light. This light intensity-dependent photoresponse is consistent with the light-dark adaptation of retinal cone and rod cells.

[0079] Figure 11 This is a diagram showing the optical pulse response current of the memristor under different light intensities in Example 1; as shown. Figure 11 As shown, the optical pulse response at different light intensities with a wavelength of 400 nm was tested. As the light intensity increased, the device exhibited a change from increased optical pulse response current under weak light conditions to suppressed optical pulse response current under strong light conditions.

[0080] Figure 12 This is a graph showing the ratio of the response currents of the nth and first light pulses under different light intensities in Example 1, plotted as a pulse number. Figure 12 As shown, Figure 11 The ratio of the response current of the nth light pulse to that of the first light pulse is used to extract the characteristic curve. The ratio increases with the number of pulses, changing from a ratio greater than 1 under weak light conditions and gradually increasing to a ratio less than 1 under strong light conditions and gradually decreasing.

[0081] Figure 13 Example 1: Memristor optical dual-pulse facilitation characteristic curve under weak light conditions; Figure 14 This is the frequency-dependent plasticity characteristic curve of the memristor under weak light conditions in Example 1. Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, Figure 13 This illustrates the short-term plasticity characteristics of the memristor of the present invention under dual-pulse stimulation in weak light conditions, and its charge retention or synaptic memory ability on a short timescale. Figure 14The synaptic current response to different light pulse frequencies under weak light conditions is shown, and the higher the pulse frequency, the more obvious the device current response enhancement, which reflects the sensitivity of the device to repeated stimulation.

[0082] From the above test results, it can be seen that:

[0083] (1) The memristor of the application has two biological adaptive functions of desensitization and light-dark adaptation.

[0084] From Figure 8 and Figure 9 it can be seen that the memristor of the application, under electrical pulse stimulation, shows that the response current after repeated stimulation changes from enhancement to inhibition, and with the increase of pulse frequency, the inhibition phenomenon appears faster and more obvious, this phenomenon of gradually inhibiting the response current to repeated stimulation conforms to the desensitization behavior of biological synapses, which shows that the memristor of the application has the desensitization function under electrical stimulation.

[0085] From Figure 10 and Figure 11 it can be seen that the memristor of the application, under weak light stimulation, the photocurrent is enhanced, similar to the dark adaptation mechanism of retinal rod cells (the sensitivity of the retina is improved in dark environment), and with the increase of light intensity, the photocurrent is inhibited under strong light stimulation, similar to the light adaptation mechanism of retinal cone cells (the sensitivity of the retina is reduced in bright environment), which shows that the memristor of the application has the light-dark adaptation function (retinal adaptation function) under light intensity stimulation.

[0086] (2) The memristor of the application switches the adaptive mode according to the type of stimulation and the time trigger mechanism. The specific performance is as follows:

[0087] Electrical stimulation mode ( Figures 4-9 ): under the condition of-8V to-10V, in the negative voltage cycle, the current first increases and then decreases (the conductance first rises and then falls, Figure 5 ), under electrical pulse stimulation, the response current first increases and then decreases, and the desensitization behavior changes from no desensitization under low-frequency pulse (0.46Hz) stimulation to desensitization under high-frequency pulse (2.3Hz) stimulation Figure 9 ), and the faster the frequency, the faster and more obvious the desensitization behavior triggers. And-7V → direct inhibition; -8V to-10V → first increase and then decrease; -11V → increase. This multi-mode dynamic response (inhibition / adaptation / enhancement) triggered based on different voltage thresholds covers the main forms of biological synaptic plasticity.

[0088] Light stimulation mode ( Figures 10-14 ): under weak light, the current enhancement shows dark adaptation (the sensitivity of the retinal rod cells is increased in dark environment), and under strong light condition, the current inhibition shows light adaptation (the sensitivity of the retinal cone cells is reduced in bright environment), and the light double pulse facilitation Figure 13) and pulse frequency-dependent plasticity ( Figure 14 ) show that the device has good synaptic plasticity.

[0089] The time-sharing trigger adaptive mode is that the memristor can select the enhancement mode (facilitation) or the inhibition mode (desensitization) according to the current stimulation type (electricity / optical) and parameters (intensity, frequency) in real time. Under weak light or low-frequency electric pulse weak stimulation, the enhancement mode (facilitation) is shown, the sensitivity is enhanced, under strong light or high-frequency electric pulse stimulation, the inhibition mode (desensitization) is shown, and overload is prevented. The time-sharing trigger mechanism well simulates the dynamic adjustment mechanism of biological synaptic plasticity.

[0090] (3) The memristor of the application supports multi-modal perception and adaptive information processing in a dynamic environment.

[0091] The memristor of the application has the two biological adaptive functions of desensitization and light-dark adaptation and the characteristics of switching the adaptive mode according to the time-sharing trigger mechanism of the stimulation type, so that the memristor of the application can simulate the multi-modal perception and adaptive processing capability of the biological system. Specifically,

[0092] Multi-modal perception: can simultaneously respond to electric signals and optical signals, and respectively adjust the adaptive mode (such as electric stimulation triggering desensitization and optical stimulation triggering light-dark adaptation).

[0093] Dynamic environment adaptation: in a changing environment (such as light intensity fluctuation and electric signal frequency change), the memristor can switch the enhancement / inhibition adaptive mode according to the change of the stimulation condition, has good synaptic plasticity and dynamic adjustability.

[0094] (4) The memristor of the application can realize light intensity-dependent bidirectional optical response under self-powered conditions, effectively reducing the power consumption of the device.

[0095] As shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the memristor of the application shows the light-dark adaptation behavior of enhancement under weak light and inhibition under strong light by changing the light intensity under 0V bias. Compared with the traditional bidirectional optical response behavior which needs additional bias regulation, the bidirectional optical response under 0V self-powered conditions reduces the power consumption and is more in line with the power consumption of biological synapses.

[0096] (5) The memristor of the application realizes the conversion of the pulse response enhancement to the desensitization behavior by regulating the pulse frequency, and widens the implementation function of the synaptic plasticity simulation of the memristor.

[0097] Under the condition of-8V to-10V, in the negative voltage cycle, the current is first enhanced and then inhibited (the conductance is first increased and then decreased, Figure 5), under the electric pulse stimulation, the response current first strengthens and then inhibits, and the desensitization behavior triggered by the low-frequency pulse (0.46Hz) stimulation is changed into the desensitization behavior triggered by the high-frequency pulse (2.3Hz) stimulation (Fig. 2) Figure 9 ), and the faster the frequency, the faster and more obvious the desensitization behavior is triggered. And compared with the traditional memristor which can only realize inhibition / strengthening, the memristor of the application inhibits at-7V, first strengthens and then inhibits at-8V to-10V, and strengthens at-11V. The multi-mode dynamic response (inhibition / adaption / strengthening) triggered based on different voltage thresholds covers the main forms of biological synaptic plasticity.

[0098] In conclusion, the application relates to an organic semiconductor heterojunction photoelectric adaptive memristor and a preparation method thereof. The two biological adaptive functions of desensitization and light / dark adaptation are integrated, and the adaptive mode is switched according to the stimulation type time-sharing triggering mechanism to support multi-modal perception and adaptive information processing in a dynamic environment, which promotes the development of neuromorphic devices for simulating the adaptive functions of biological sensory systems.

[0099] As described above, although the application has been shown and described with reference to specific preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the application is not to be limited to the details of the foregoing, but can be modified in various ways within the scope of the application.
