description | The investigation of dual-mode synaptic plasticity was conducted in thin-film transistors (TFTs) featuring an HfSe<sub>2</sub> channel, coupled with an oxygen-deficient (OD)-HfO<sub>2</sub> layer structure. In these transistors, the application of negative gate pulses resulted in a notable increase in the post-synaptic current, while positive pulses led to a decrease. This distinctive response can be attributed to the dynamic interplay of charge interactions, significantly influenced by the ferroelectric characteristics of the OD-HfO<sub>2</sub> layer. The findings from this study highlight the capability of this particular TFT configuration in closely mirroring the intricate functionalities of biological neurons, paving the way for advancements in bio-inspired computing technologies. |
