文摘Nowadays,force sensors play an important role in industrial production,electronic information,medical health,and many other fields.Two-dimensional material-based filed effect transistor(2D-FET)sensors are competitive with nano-level size,lower power consumption,and accurate response.However,few of them has the capability of impulse detection which is a path function,expressing the cumulative effect of the force on the particle over a period of time.Herein we fabricated the flexible polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA)gate dielectric MoS_(2)-FET for force and impulse sensor application.We systematically investigated the responses of the sensor to constant force and varying forces,and achieved the conversion factors of the drain current signals(I_(ds))to the detected impulse(I).The applied force was detected and recorded by I_(ds)with a low power consumption of~30 nW.The sensitivity of the device can reach~8000%and the 4×1 sensor array is able to detect and locate the normal force applied on it.Moreover,there was almost no performance loss for the device as left in the air for two months.

文摘The high-quality semiconductor InGa ZnO(IGZO)alloy thin films with different indium(In)elemental contents were deposit utilized magnetron sputtering.The novel bilayer heterojunction TFT devices based on our fabricated IGZO films were proposed,and their performance exhibited significant improvement compared to single layer IGZO TFTs.In the bilayer heterojunction TFT,the field-effect mobility was promoted to 23.5 cm^(2)·V^(-1)·s^(-1),the switching ratio reached 4.1×10^(7),and the subthreshold swing was reduced to 0.42 V/dec.Moreover,the variation of bilayer TFTs threshold voltage(Vth)was significantly suppressed,Under positive gate bias stress(PBS)and negative gate bias stress(NBS),the threshold shift is reduced to be 1.5 V and-1.1 V,respectively.The heterojunction within the bilayer IGZO films constructs a potential barrier at the interface,which facilitated the accumulation of channel electrons.Additionally,the low In-element content passivation layer in IGZO films not only preserved the channel of TFT but also reduced electron scattering,thereby the performance properties of TFT were enhancing.The excellent transistor characteristics of devices demonstrate the feasibility of our proposed bilayer heterojunction TFT,which will promote the basic research of IGZO device and accelerate the practical application of transparency IGZO TFT.

文摘Artificial multisensory devices play a key role in human-computer interaction in the field of artificial intelligence(AI).In this work,we have designed and constructed a novel olfactory-visual bimodal neuromorphic carbon nanotube thin film transistor(TFT)arrays for artificial olfactory-visual multisensory synergy recognition with a very low power consumption of 25 aJ for a single pulse,employing semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes(sc-SWCNTs)as channel materials and gas sensitive materials,and poly[[4,8-bis[5-(2-ethylhexyl)-2-thienyl]benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b0]dithiophene-2,6-diyl]-2,5-thiophenediyl-[5,7-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-4,8-dioxo-4H,8H-benzo[1,2-c:4,5-c0]dithio-phene-1,3-diyl]](PBDB-T)as the photosensitive material.It is noted that it is the first time to realize the simulation of olfactory and visual senses(from 280 nm to 650 nm)with the wide operating temperature range(0-150℃)in a single SWCNT TFT device and successfully simulate the recovery of olfactory senses after COVID-19 by olfactory-visual synergy.Furthermore,our SWCNT neuromorphic TFT devices with a high IOn/IOff ratio(up to 10^(6))at a low operating voltage(−2 to 0.5 V)can mimic not only the basic biological synaptic functions of olfaction and vision(such as paired-pulse facilitation,short-term plasticity,and long-term plasticity),but also optical wireless communication by Morse code.The proposed multisensory,broadband light-responsive,low-power synaptic devices provide great potential for developing AI robots to face complex external environments.

文摘Organic electrochemical transistors have emerged as a solution for artificial synapses that mimic the neural functions of the brain structure,holding great potentials to break the bottleneck of von Neumann architectures.However,current artificial synapses rely primarily on electrical signals,and little attention has been paid to the vital role of neurotransmitter-mediated artificial synapses.Dopamine is a key neurotransmitter associated with emotion regulation and cognitive processes that needs to be monitored in real time to advance the development of disease diagnostics and neuroscience.To provide insights into the development of artificial synapses with neurotransmitter involvement,this review proposes three steps towards future biomimic and bioinspired neuromorphic systems.We first summarize OECT-based dopamine detection devices,and then review advances in neurotransmitter-mediated artificial synapses and resultant advanced neuromorphic systems.Finally,by exploring the challenges and opportunities related to such neuromorphic systems,we provide a perspective on the future development of biomimetic and bioinspired neuromorphic systems.

文摘Amorphous InGaZnO(IGZO)is a potential candidate for integrated circuits based on thin-film transistors(TFTs)owing to its low-temperature processability and high mobility.Amorphous InGaMgO/InGaZnO(IGMO/IGZO)heterojunction was deposited and TFTs based on IGMO/IGZO heterojunction were fabricated in this report.The energy band at the IGMO/IGZO heterojunction was characterized,and the potential well at the interface of IGZO is critical to the enhanced ultraviolet detection of the IGMO/IGZO heterojunction.Furthermore,the TFTs based on IGMO/IGZO heterojunction exhibited a high responsivity of 3.8×10^(3) A/W and a large detectivity of 5.2×10^(14) Jones under 350-nm ultraviolet illumination,which will also benefit for fabrication of monolithic ultraviolet sensing chip.

文摘The Josephson junction is typically tuned by a magnetic field or electrostatic gate to realize a superconducting(SC)transistor,which manipulates the supercurrent in integrated SC circuits.Here,we propose a theoretical scheme for a light-controlled SC transistor,which is composed of two superconductor leads weakly linked by a coherent light-driven quantum dot.We discover a Josephson-like relation for the supercurrent I=I(Φ)sinΦsc,where both the supercurrent phaseΦand magnitude Iccan be completely controlled by the phase,intensity,and detuning of the driving light.Additionally,the supercurrent magnitude displays a Fano profile with the increase of the driving light intensity,which is understood by comparing the level splitting of the quantum dot under light driving with the SC gap.Moreover,when two such SC transistors form a loop,they constitute a light-controlled SC quantum interference device(SQUID).Such a light-controlled SQUID can demonstrate the Josephson diode effect,and the optimized non-reciprocal efficiency achieves up to 54%,surpassing the maximum record reported in recent literature.Thus,our scheme delivers a promising platform for performing diverse and flexible manipulations in SC circuits.

文摘Amplification-free,highly sensitive,and specific nucleic acid detection is crucial for health monitoring and diagnosis.The type III CRISPR-Cas10 system,which provides viral immunity through CRISPRassociated protein effectors,enables a new amplification-free nucleic acid diagnostic tool.In this study,we develop a CRISPR-graphene field-effect transistors(GFETs)biosensor by combining the type III CRISPR-Cas10 system with GFETs for direct nucleic acid detection.This biosensor exploits the target RNA-activated continuous ss DNA cleavage activity of the d Csm3 CRISPR-Cas10 effector and the high charge density of a hairpin DNA reporter on the GFET channel to achieve label-free,amplification-free,highly sensitive,and specific RNA detection.The CRISPR-GFET biosensor exhibits excellent performance in detecting medium-length RNAs and miRNAs,with detection limits at the aM level and a broad linear range of 10^(-15)to 10^(-11)M for RNAs and 10^(-15)to 10^(-9)M for miRNAs.It shows high sensitivity in throat swabs and serum samples,distinguishing between healthy individuals(N=5)and breast cancer patients(N=6)without the need for extraction,purification,or amplification.This platform mitigates risks associated with nucleic acid amplification and cross-contamination,making it a versatile and scalable diagnostic tool for molecular diagnostics in human health.
