Popis: Neuromorphic devices play an important role in neuromorphic systems. Stimulating synaptic phototransistors with light spike paves a new method for manufacturing artificial synapses. In this paper, a synaptic In–Ga–Zn–O phototransistor was fabricated, and the photoresponsivity of the device could be tuned by adjusting the annealing temperature of a solution-processed In–Ga–Zn–O thin film. The photoresponsivity and photocurrent-to-the dark current ratio for the In–Ga–Zn–O phototransistors fabricated at various annealing temperatures were analyzed. More importantly, some basic functions of synaptic phototransistors that exhibit excitatory postsynaptic current, short-term plasticity, paired-pulse facilitation, and multi-level photomemory are demonstrated. The results from this study may help others produce synaptic phototransistors for neuromorphic computing.
