[0004] Artificial visual perception systems, with their capabilities of recognition, learning, and storage, are attracting increasing attention in next-generation neuromorphic electronics. Humans acquire over 80% of external information through vision. When external information reaches the human eye, photoreceptors within the retina receive visible light signals and convert them into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to visual neurons. Artificial visual perception systems require combining an artificial retina with neuromorphic devices to achieve both perception and computation within the same device.

[0005] Currently, various optoelectronic neuromorphic devices have been studied to develop artificial visual perception systems and realize optoelectronic neuromorphic functions. Optoelectronic neuromorphic computing is gaining increasing attention in the fields of machine learning, image processing, and visual perception. By combining devices with diverse functionalities with optoelectronic neuromorphic devices, the application areas and development directions of artificial synaptic devices can be effectively broadened.

[0006] Visual adaptation is crucial for next-generation biological vision systems, as it can improve adaptability to diverse environments. Various materials, such as carbides and selenides, have been used to fabricate optoelectronic neuromorphic devices. However, these devices require high excitation light intensity and cannot be excited by low-intensity light. Consequently, these devices lack synaptic properties, making visual adaptation difficult to achieve.

[0090] The optoelectronic neuromorphic synaptic device of the present invention can achieve synaptic performance through optical modulation under low-intensity light excitation, which is described in detail below through specific embodiments:

[0091] Example 1

[0092] The short-term synaptic plasticity of the optoelectronic neuromorphic synaptic device can be achieved by optical modulation under low-intensity light excitation. An important manifestation of short-term synaptic plasticity is paired pulse potentiation (PPF). The optoelectronic neuromorphic synaptic device is placed under 0.5 mW / cm 2At a light intensity of , a light pulse was applied to the photoelectric neuromorphic synaptic device. After an interval of 500 milliseconds, the same light pulse was applied to the photoelectric neuromorphic synaptic device again. Referring to FIG8 , the ordinate of FIG8 represents the excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC) value. The postsynaptic current induced by the second light pulse in the photoelectric neuromorphic synaptic device was significantly higher than that induced by the first light pulse, indicating that storage in the photoelectric neuromorphic synaptic device was enhanced and short-term synaptic plasticity was achieved.

[0093] Example 2

[0094] The conversion of the short-term memory (STM) to long-term memory (LTM) of the optoelectronic neuromorphic synaptic device can be achieved by optical modulation under low-intensity light excitation.

[0095] The transition from short-term memory (STM) to long-term memory (LTM) can be achieved by changing the number of light pulses. 2 Under a light intensity of , the same light pulses were applied to the optoelectronic neuromorphic synaptic device, and the number of light pulses was gradually increased from 1 to 15. Referring to FIG9 , the ordinate of FIG9 represents the change in excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC). As the number of applied light pulses increased, the excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC) induced by the optoelectronic neuromorphic synaptic device gradually increased and lasted for a longer period of time. This behavior is similar to the improvement of memory level and consolidation of memory strength through repeated learning in an organism.

[0096] At the same time, by changing the pulse width and pulse frequency of the optical pulse applied to the optoelectronic neuromorphic synaptic device, the transition from short-term memory (STM) to long-term memory (LTM) can also be achieved. 2 Under a light intensity of , light pulses were applied to the optoelectronic neuromorphic synaptic device to reach an initial storage level. After an interval of 100 seconds, light pulses were applied to the optoelectronic neuromorphic synaptic device again to re-reach the initial storage level. Referring to FIG10 , the ordinate of FIG10 represents the current value of the excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC). Applying 42 light pulses to the optoelectronic neuromorphic synaptic device can reach an initial storage level of 35 nA. After 100 seconds of forgetting, only 28 light pulses need to be applied to the optoelectronic neuromorphic synaptic device to re-reach the initial storage level. This is equivalent to forgotten knowledge in an organism, which can be regained with a brief review.

[0097] Example 3

[0098] The visual adaptation of the optoelectronic neuromorphic synaptic device can be achieved through optical modulation under low-intensity light excitation.

[0099] By applying 0.765 mW / cm 2 The optoelectronic neuromorphic synaptic device was exposed to strong light to observe its adaptation to harmful light. Referring to FIG11 , where the vertical axis represents the drain current (IDS), a significant current suppression effect was observed when the bottom gate voltage of the optoelectronic neuromorphic synaptic device gradually increased from a floating gate state (0V) to -0.8V. This accelerated the device's adaptation to light and prevented harmful light stimulation.

However, it should be understood that such modifications and variations are within the scope and spirit of the present invention as set forth in the claims.
