Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of organic optoelectronic materials, organic semiconductor industry memory technology and synaptic plasticity devices, and particularly relates to application of a polymer electret organic field effect transistor memory in biological synapse simulation. BACKGROUND

[0002] Polymer electret-based organic field effect transistor nonvolatile memory is a new type of memory that has developed rapidly in recent years. This memory mainly uses polymer materials as the core storage layer of the device, and has the advantages of light weight, low-temperature large-area processing, and easy flexibility of the substrate. At the same time, it uses light as an auxiliary programming means, and has the advantages of fast storage speed, high data security, rich control means, low dependence on electricity, and many other advantages, and has good development prospects and application value.

[0003] Polymer electret-based organic field effect transistor nonvolatile memory belongs to organic field effect transistor memory. As an organic thin film device, the organic field effect transistor memory device mainly includes: a substrate material supporting the entire device as a base, an organic semiconductor material for transporting carriers, a storage functional layer material for storing electric charges, a blocking / tunneling insulating layer material for blocking carrier loss, and an electrode material, etc.

[0004] According to different mechanisms of memory storage layer materials and charge storage, organic field effect transistor memory can be divided into: floating gate type organic field effect transistor memory (FGOFETs), ferroelectric type organic field effect transistor memory (OFe FETs), and organic electret type organic field effect transistor memory (OPEFETs).

[0005] Compared with metal particle floating gate and ferroelectric material-based organic field effect transistor memory (OFET memory), polymer electrets have the advantages of low-temperature solution processing and good compatibility with flexible substrates, and thus become the preferred storage medium for realizing flexible storage units. In addition, the nonvolatile memory with a floating gate structure needs to have an independent charge tunneling layer and a charge trapping layer during preparation, but for polymer electret-based organic field effect transistor memory, only one layer of polymer dielectric can meet the needs of charge tunneling and charge trapping.

[0006] As a basic component in circuits, OFET memory is compatible with the development of wearable electronics due to its wide material sources, mild processing methods, and easy large-area and mass production. Meanwhile, the structure of OFET determines its rich functional applications, such as light-emitting products, storage devices, sensors, switches, etc., so it has a very wide application prospect in the future information electronics field.

[0007] Nowadays, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a hot research field because of its broad application prospects, such as speech recognition, image processing, automatic driving technology, etc. At present, the traditional computer based on von Neumann architecture cannot meet the needs of the artificial intelligence era due to the physical separation of the storage unit and the processor, and the data transmission between the two units reduces the computing efficiency. Neuromorphic computer is a new type of computer that simulates the function of biological synapses. Because it can perform space-time conversion to learn and reason in parallel mode, it is expected to overcome the "von Neumann bottleneck". At present, there are two kinds of devices that can be used to study neuromorphic computing, one is complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) memory, and the other is non-volatile memory (NVM). Among them, NVM has higher computing density and lower energy consumption, and may be the ideal device for neuromorphic chips. NVM includes two-terminal devices and three-terminal devices. Two-terminal devices usually include memristors and RRAM, while three-terminal devices include various types of OFET Memory. Among them, OFET Memory is easy to integrate with modern integrated circuit (IC) technology. In addition, the performance of OFET Memory can be improved by applying various organic semiconductors and modification / mixing processes. In particular, some organic storage devices have their own transistors for active driving, so they are considered to be the simplest and most cost-effective electronic devices in the future artificial intelligence era. It is reported that the organic field effect transistor memory of ferroelectric polymer, metal nanoparticles or charge trapping layer and polymer energy well structure has the function of information storage and can be applied to artificial synapse device biomimicry. For the OFET memory based on rechargeable polymer electret, when a write voltage pulse (V GS ) is applied to the gate electrode, the charge can be transferred from the semiconductor to the polymer inside and / or the semiconductor / polymer interface in real time through the potential barrier. Therefore, the storage performance (including storage window, switching speed, stability, etc.) is closely related to the chemical structure of the polymer and the semiconductor / polymer interface. In order to obtain better non-volatile storage performance, many research groups have made a lot of efforts to optimize the characteristics control of polymer electrets, such as conformational transition and molecular aggregation, intermolecular / intramolecular charge transfer, π-conjugation length / strength, strong hydrophobicity and condensed state morphology engineering.

[0008] The disclosure document "Organic semiconductor memristor and its neuromorphic simulation with multi-mode selection characteristics, Wang source" describes the advantages of using organic field effect transistor memory itself devices, integrating the efficient and controllable "light virtual gate" operation mode into the transistor memory to build a multifunctional optoelectronic synapse to realize effective neuromorphic computing strategy, and discloses the effectiveness of the optoelectronic device in realizing the neuromorphic function within a single synapse and a complex neural structure. However, in the prior art, the control method based on the characteristics of the polymer electret has the problems of high control cost and difficulty. SUMMARY

[0009] In order to further optimize the characteristic control of the polymer electret, the application provides a polymer electret organic field effect transistor memory in the application of biological synapse simulation, by preparing two polymer electret organic field effect transistors with different molecular weights, so that the organic field effect transistor meets the basic plasticity function of biological synapse simulation.

[0062] The polymer electret organic field effect transistor with biological synapse simulation function prepared in the above examples is also subjected to performance test, and the test method and results are shown as follows:

[0063] The test and characterization method of the polymer electret organic field effect transistor with biological synapse simulation function is as follows: the electrical performance characterization is carried out on a probe station and an inverted microscope using a Keithley 2636B semiconductor analyzer. By changing the gate voltage pulse, the channel current of the device synapse can be accurately controlled, and when an optical pulse is applied above the conductive channel, the instantaneous channel current caused thereby can be regarded as an excitatory postsynaptic current.

[0064] Figure 2 The excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC) of the polymer electret organic field effect transistor simulation synapse under different light intensities is tested. That is, the device can change the excitatory postsynaptic current value according to the application of different light intensities.

[0065] Figure 3 The inhibitory postsynaptic current (IPSC) of the polymer electret organic field effect transistor simulation synapse under different write voltages is tested. As can be seen from the figure, under different write voltages, the polymer electret synapse transistor will immediately change from short-term synaptic plasticity to long-term synaptic plasticity when a negative pulse is applied at the presynaptic end. ​

[0066] Figure 4 Inhibitory postsynaptic current (IPSC) of polymer electret organic field effect transistor synapse test. From the figure, it can be seen that under different write times, the polymer electret synapse transistor will immediately change from short-term synaptic plasticity to long-term synaptic plasticity when a negative pulse is applied to the presynaptic end.

[0067] Figure 5 Excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC) of polymer electret organic field effect transistor synapse test. The source-drain current was read by Keithley 2636B digital source meter, and the read voltage was selected as -5V. The front end of the Tektronix 2912A digital source meter was used to power the light source, and the back end was used to apply a 30V pulse to the gate of the transistor for 300ms. From the figure, it can be seen that the relaxation effect of the EPSC of the polymer electret synapse transistor with low molecular weight is stronger, which corresponds to the stronger storage ability of the low molecular weight polymer transistor memory for electrons.

[0068] Figure 6 Inhibitory postsynaptic current (IPSC) of polymer electret organic field effect transistor synapse test. The source-drain current was read by Keithley 2636B digital source meter, and the read voltage was selected as -5V. The back end of the Tektronix 2912A digital source meter was used to apply a -30V pulse to the gate of the transistor for 300ms. From the figure, it can be seen that under different write times, the polymer electret synapse transistor will immediately change from short-term synaptic plasticity to long-term synaptic plasticity when a negative pulse is applied to the presynaptic end.

[0069] Figure 7 Excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC) of polymer electret organic field effect transistor synapse test. The source-drain current was read by Keithley 2636B digital source meter, and the read voltage was selected as -5V. The front end of the Tektronix 2912A digital source meter was used to power the light source, and the back end was used to apply a 30V pulse to the gate of the transistor for 300ms. From the figure, it can be seen that the relaxation effect of the EPSC of the polymer electret synapse transistor with low molecular weight is stronger, which corresponds to the stronger storage ability of the low molecular weight polymer transistor memory for electrons.

[0070] Figure 8 Inhibitory postsynaptic current (IPSC) of polymer electret organic field effect transistor synapse test. The source-drain current was read by Keithley 2636B digital source meter, and the read voltage was selected as -5V. The back end of the Tektronix 2912A digital source meter was used to apply a -30V pulse to the gate of the transistor for 300ms. From the figure, it can be seen that under different write times, the polymer electret synapse transistor will immediately change from short-term synaptic plasticity to long-term synaptic plasticity when a negative pulse is applied to the presynaptic end.

[0071] Figure 9The double pulse facilitation factor of the polymer electret organic field effect transistor synapse test is simulated. The source-drain current is read by the JISSO 2636B digital source meter, the reading voltage is selected as -5V, the pass is DE2912A digital source meter, two identical pulses are applied to the gate of the transistor, the interval of the two pulses is changed, the double pulse facilitation is measured, and then the ratio (A2 / A1) of the peak current is selected. As can be seen from the figure, the low molecular weight polymer electret synapse transistor excitation / inhibition effect is stronger.

[0072] The preparation method of the polymer electret organic field effect transistor memory adopts a simple solution spin coating method to prepare a smooth and flat polymer electret film as a charge capture layer applied in the organic field effect transistor memory. Since the roughness of the polymer electret films with two different molecular weights is very small, it is beneficial for the growth of the organic semiconductor layer pentacene on the same, realizes a faster operation speed, a higher storage density, excellent non-volatility and stable read-write-erase resistance, and the preparation process of the device is simple, the preparation cost is reduced, and it is a very promising method. At the same time, pentacene is a photosensitive semiconductor, by adjusting the light intensity to change the photoelectric current of the synapse transistor channel, and then simulating the excitatory postsynaptic current enhancement phenomenon of the biological synapse, combined with the reverse voltage pulse, the inhibitory effect of the inhibitory postsynaptic current can be realized.

[0073] The application simulates the biological synapse behavior of the polymer electret organic field effect transistor memory, studies the relationship between the transistor memory and the synapse, and the excitatory / inhibitory effect of the polymer synapse transistor with different molecular weights corresponds to the storage effect of the electron / hole of the transistor memory. The transistor memory with strong hole / electron capture ability is not suitable for simulating biological synapse. This provides a research basis for the research of synapse transistor for others.
