Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of light sensing and computing integrated devices, and particularly relates to a light sensing and computing integrated device based on a semiconductor-ferroelectric gradient heterojunction and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of automatic driving, machine vision and other fields, the complexity and data volume of image processing tasks are growing exponentially. Traditional image processing systems adopt an architecture in which sensors, memories and processing units are physically separated, and signals need to be frequently transmitted between units, which not only leads to significant energy loss and data delay, but also increases hardware costs due to the need for multi-component integration, making it difficult to adapt to power and resource limited application scenarios such as edge computing and mobile devices.
[0003] To solve the above problems, the prior art designs a visual sensor simulating the morphology of human retina, which integrates an artificial neural network to perform signal accumulation operations with reconfigurable response characteristics as neural network weights, realizing the preliminary fusion of perception and calculation. However, the core limitation of existing such sensors is that most implementation schemes need to rely on continuous gate voltage maintenance function: the weight value is controlled by an external power supply, which causes the weight adjustment accuracy to be disconnected from the physical characteristics of the device itself, and the weight needs to be stored remotely and transmitted to each sensor unit through complex external circuits, which seriously hinders the direct integration of storage and calculation functions inside the sensor. At the same time, the independent control of each neural network unit needs to rely on complex supporting circuits, which makes it neither practically feasible nor easy to achieve long-term stable operation when deploying such schemes on a large scale in power and resource limited environments, seriously restricting their large-scale application process.
[0004] In-sensor computing technology integrates perception, storage and processing functions in a single device module, and mechanisms such as ferroelectric polarization, ion migration and ion-induced local field modulation have become a research hotspot, providing an important idea to solve the bottleneck of traditional architecture. Such systems achieve weight storage by regulating the polarization intensity or the proportion of different state regions, but the core challenge is how to realize continuous physical modulation of the state to ensure the accuracy of weight adjustment. In current neuromorphic computing research, weight processing relies mainly on curve fitting or interpolation methods, which do not fully verify the physical feasibility of the assumed weights in actual devices, resulting in overestimation of computing performance, and ignoring the direct impact of weight adjustment accuracy on neuromorphic computing accuracy. More critically, even under optimistic estimates, the number of states that existing systems can distinguish is still limited to less than 6 bits, making it difficult to meet the demand for computing accuracy in high-precision image processing, intelligent perception and other scenarios, and restricting the industrialization application process of in-sensor computing technology. SUMMARY
[0005] To solve the technical problems of the existing sensor internal computing system that the weight adjustment precision is out of touch with physical feasibility and the number of distinguishable states is limited, the application aims to provide a photoreception and calculation integrated device based on a semiconductor-ferroelectric gradient heterojunction and a preparation method and application thereof, specifically by introducing ferroelectric materials into the semiconductor, combining with the accurate regulation of the content of -OH on the surface of the conductive substrate, realizing the composition gradient distribution of the ferroelectric materials in the semiconductor, and then achieving high-precision modulation of the responsivity of the photoreception and calculation integrated device, effectively improving the number of reconfigurable states of the photoreception and calculation integrated device, significantly enhancing the computing ability and precision of the device, and finally providing an effective implementation scheme for the development of high-precision in-sensor computing devices.

On this basis, the present application further proposes and realizes a polarization energy focusing strategy, which is realized by accurately designing the composition gradient distribution structure of the ferroelectric material in the semiconductor, and establishes the correlation mechanism between the composition distribution of the semiconductor-ferroelectric and the adjustment accuracy of the calculation weight in the sensor.
[0013] Further, in step (1), the surface hydrophilic treatment adopts an ozone cleaning method, and the treatment equipment is a surface ozone cleaning machine.

[0024] Further, the concentration of the cesium iodide solution is 1-5 M.
[0025] Further, in step (2), the ferroelectric material solution is prepared by dissolving a ferroelectric material in an organic solvent, and the organic solvent is DMF and / or DMSO.
[0026] As an organic ferroelectric material, P(VDF-TrFE) has the advantages of good flexibility and easy solution processing; as inorganic ferroelectric materials, BaTiO3 and BiFeO3 have high polarization strength and excellent stability, and the ferroelectric material can be flexibly selected according to the flexible requirements of the device, the stability of the working environment, and other application scenarios.
[0027] In a specific embodiment, in step (2), the ferroelectric material is dissolved in an organic solvent, and stirred for 20-30 min to obtain a ferroelectric material solution.
[0028] Further, in step (2), the semiconductor solution and the ferroelectric material solution are stirred for 10-20 min for mixing.
[0029] The introduction of the ferroelectric material solution into the semiconductor solution enables the mixed system to have adjustable ferroelectric polarization function, thereby forming a photoelectric-ferroelectric material mixed solution. The polarization direction and strength of the ferroelectric material can be regulated by an external electric field, thereby changing the carrier transport characteristics of the semiconductor, and finally realizing the reconfigurability of the device response.
[0030] Further, in step (3), the photoelectric-ferroelectric material mixed solution is spin-coated on the surface of the hydrophilic-treated conductive substrate, and a semiconductor-ferroelectric gradient heterojunction layer is obtained after annealing treatment.
[0031] In a specific embodiment, a two-step spin-coating method is adopted, chlorobenzene is added as an anti-solvent before the end of spin-coating, and annealing treatment is performed at 80-120 ℃ for 10-20 min after the end of spin-coating.
[0032] Further, in step (4), the speed of evaporating the metal top electrode is 0.1-0.3 Å / s.
[0033] Further, in step (4), the metal top electrode is a Cu electrode, an Au electrode, or a Cu / Au mixed electrode.
[0034] Further, the thickness of the Cu electrode is 1-3 nm, and the thickness of the Au electrode is 7-10 nm.
[0035] Further, the Cu / Au mixed electrode is a transparent electrode, and high light transmittance can be achieved.
[0036] In the specific embodiment, a Cu layer with a thickness of 1-3 nm is first deposited on the surface of the semiconductor-ferroelectric gradient heterojunction layer at a speed of 0.1-0.3 Å / s, and then an Au layer with a thickness of 7-10 nm is deposited on the surface of the Cu layer at the same speed (0.1-0.3 Å / s), so as to realize the preparation of the Cu / Au mixed electrode.
[0037] The second aspect of the present application provides a semiconductor-ferroelectric gradient heterojunction-based photo-sensing and computing integrated device prepared by the preparation method of the first aspect.
[0038] The semiconductor-ferroelectric gradient heterojunction-based photo-sensing and computing integrated device provided by the present application is a reconfigurable photodiode, and the core advantage is derived from the synergistic effect of the semiconductor-ferroelectric gradient heterojunction: the gradient distribution of the ferroelectric material forms a continuously changing polarization electric field in the device, which can be precisely controlled by an external pulse voltage, thereby realizing gradient modulation of carrier transport efficiency, and finally achieving high-precision reconfiguration of responsivity. Practical tests show that the linearity of the device is as high as 0.999, and 1024 distinguishable states (corresponding to 10 bits of precision) are supported, which is far superior to existing similar devices (usually 4-6 bits), and can realize more precise weight modulation and more complex computing tasks. Based on a 3x3 device array, the present application successfully demonstrates the synchronous implementation of in-situ image sensing and processing: each device in the array corresponds to a pixel point of the image, and by independently controlling the responsivity of each device (which is mapped to the matrix elements of the image processing kernel function), the sensing and processing operations can be completed simultaneously without external data transmission and computing units.
[0039] The third aspect of the present application provides an application of the semiconductor-ferroelectric gradient heterojunction-based photo-sensing and computing integrated device of the second aspect in neuromorphic computing, such as image processing.
[0040] Further, the image processing method of the semiconductor-ferroelectric gradient heterojunction-based photo-sensing and computing integrated device comprises the following steps:
[0041] S1, under the irradiation of a light source, a pulse voltage is applied to the semiconductor-ferroelectric gradient heterojunction-based photo-sensing and computing integrated device for modulation;
[0042] S2, detecting and recording the current of the photo-sensing and computing integrated device based on the semiconductor-ferroelectric gradient heterojunction after the pulse voltage modulation, and calculating the responsivity;
[0043] S3, taking the responsivity as a matrix element of an image processing kernel function to realize the image processing.
[0044] The photo-sensing and computing integrated device based on the semiconductor-ferroelectric gradient heterojunction can realize high-precision image processing.
[0045] Further, in S1, the wavelength of the light source is 600-700 nm, preferably 650 nm.
[0046] Further, in S1, the pulse voltage is applied by using a semiconductor analyzer.
[0047] Further, in S1, the amplitude of the pulse voltage is 1-3 V, the pulse width is 0.5-2 ms, and the pulse frequency is 0.1-1 Hz.
[0048] Further, in S2, the semiconductor analyzer is used to detect and record the current.
[0049] Further, in S2, the calculation method of the responsivity is R=I / (PxA), wherein R is the responsivity (unit: A / W), I is the device current value, P is the incident light power, and A is the effective light receiving area of the device.
[0050] In the present application, the light responsivity of the photo-sensing and computing integrated device can be directly mapped to the light weight value in the neuromorphic computing, and the precise modulation of the weight is realized by regulating the responsivity.
[0051] Further, in S3, the kernel function of the image processing is a 3x3 matrix (adapted to a 3x3 device array).
[0052] Further, in S3, the image processing includes at least one of image sharpening processing, image embossing processing, and image contour extraction processing. The specific implementation principle is that the matrix elements of different processing kernel functions (such as the Laplacian kernel for sharpening, the gradient kernel for embossing, and the Sobel kernel for contour extraction) are one-to-one mapped with the responsivity of the device, and the responsivity of each device is regulated to make the signal output by the array be the processed image signal directly, without the need for external algorithms and computing units.
[0053] In the specific embodiment, the image processing method includes the following steps:
[0054] S1, under the illumination of a 650 nm light source, a series of pulse voltages are generated by using a semiconductor analyzer to modulate the photo-sensing and computing integrated device;
[0055] S2. Collect the current values of the photosensitive computing device before and after pulse modulation using a semiconductor analyzer, and complete the responsivity calibration according to the formula R=I / (P×A);
[0056] S3. In the image processing process, the matrix elements of the target kernel function are mapped and matched with the responsivity to ultimately achieve customized image processing.
[0057] In a specific implementation, the semiconductor analyzer used is the Keithley-2400.

[0105] Figure 1 The XRD patterns, PL patterns and surface SEM patterns of the perovskite-P(VDF-TrFE) gradient heterojunction layer (doped with P(VDF-TrFE)) in Example 1 and the perovskite semiconductor layer (not doped with P(VDF-TrFE)) in Comparative Example 1, Figure 1 reflect the changes in the properties of the thin film material before and after P(VDF-TrFE) doping. As can be seen from Figure 1 , the XRD spectra of the two groups of materials have no obvious difference, indicating that the introduction of P(VDF-TrFE) does not change the crystallization characteristics of the perovskite, and proves that the doping of the ferroelectric material does not destroy the integrity of the crystal structure of the perovskite. As can be seen from Figure 1 , the PL spectra of the perovskite-P(VDF-TrFE) gradient heterojunction layer and the perovskite semiconductor layer have no difference except intensity, indicating that the doping of P(VDF-TrFE) does not change the band gap width of the perovskite, nor does it introduce additional defect states, which ensures that the intrinsic photoelectric properties of the perovskite are not affected. As can be seen from Figure 1As can be seen from c and d, there is no significant difference between the two morphologies, indicating that the introduction of P(VDF-TrFE) does not significantly change the grain size and morphology of the perovskite, and does not introduce defects such as pinholes that affect the performance of the device, ensuring the density and integrity of the thin film.
[0106] Figure 2 The structure diagram and cross-sectional SEM diagram of the optical and arithmetic integrated device based on the perovskite-P(VDF-TrFE) gradient heterojunction prepared in Example 1 are shown in FIG. 2. As can be seen from FIG. 2a, the optical and arithmetic integrated device is in a photodiode configuration, which can guarantee excellent light response performance of the device. As can be seen from FIG. 2b, the optical and arithmetic integrated device has tight contact and clear interface between each functional layer, and the perovskite layer has good morphology characteristics without obvious interlayer peeling or defects, which effectively guarantees the efficient transport of carriers between layers and provides structural support for high responsivity and high stability of the device.

[0107] Figure 3 The water contact angle data diagram of the ITO substrate of the optical and arithmetic integrated device based on the perovskite-P(VDF-TrFE) gradient heterojunction prepared in Examples 1-4 and the optical and arithmetic integrated device based on the perovskite-P(VDF-TrFE) heterojunction prepared in Comparative Example 2, and the internal element longitudinal distribution spectrum tested by secondary ion mass spectrometry are shown in FIG. 3. As can be seen from FIG. 3a, as the ultraviolet ozone treatment time is shortened, the water contact angle of the ITO substrate gradually increases, and the content of -OH groups on the substrate surface gradually decreases, proving that the content of -OH on the substrate surface can be precisely controlled by adjusting the ozone treatment time. As can be seen from FIG. 3b-f, as the content of -OH on the ITO substrate surface decreases, the distribution of fluorine (F) elements (characteristic elements of P(VDF-TrFE)) in the perovskite gradually increases from top to bottom, and transitions to uniform distribution in the internal film, directly verifying the regulation mechanism of the content of -OH on the substrate on the gradient distribution of ferroelectric materials.

From Figure 4 c and d in it can be seen that whether the response is positive or negative, the photo-sensing and computing integrated device shows ultrafast response speed, and the response time is in the order of ns, which meets the low delay demand of real-time in-sensing calculation.
