Abstract

The complete hardware implementation of an optoelectronic neuromorphic computing system is considered as one of the most promising solutions to realize energy-efficient artificial intelligence. Here, a fully light-driven and scalable optoelectronic neuromorphic circuit with metal-chalcogenide/metal-oxide heterostructure phototransistor and photovoltaic divider is proposed. To achieve wavelength-selective neural operation and hardware-based pattern recognition, multispectral light modulated bidirectional synaptic circuits are utilized as an individual pixel for highly accurate and large-area neuromorphic computing system. The wavelength selective control of photo-generated charges at the heterostructure interface enables the bidirectional synaptic modulation behaviors including the excitatory and inhibitory modulations. More importantly, a 7 × 7 neuromorphic pixel circuit array is demonstrated to show the viability of implementing highly accurate hardware-based pattern training. In both the pixel training and pattern recognition simulation, the neuromorphic circuit array with the bidirectional synaptic modulation exhibits lower training errors and higher recognition rates, respectively.
