Molecular Reconfiguration of Disordered Tellurium Oxide Transistors with Biomimetic Spectral Selectivity

Reconfigurable devices with field-effect transistor features and neuromorphic behaviors are promising for enhancing data processing capability and reducing power consumption in next-generation semiconductor platforms. However, commonly used 2D materials for reconfigurable devices require additional modulation terminals and suffer from complex and stringent operating rules to obtain specific functionalities. Here, a p-type disordered tellurium oxide is introduced that realizes dual-mode reconfigurability as a logic transistor and a neuromorphic device. Due to the disordered film surface, the enhanced adsorption of oxygen molecules and laser-induced desorption concurrently regulate the carrier concentration in the channel. The device exhibits high-performance p-type characteristics with a field-effect hole mobility of 10.02 cm2 V-1 s-1 and an Ion/Ioff ratio exceeding 106 in the transistor mode. As a neuromorphic device, the vision system exhibits biomimetic bee vision, explicitly responding to the blue-to-ultraviolet light. Finally, in-sensor denoising and invisible image recognition in static and dynamic scenarios are achieved.
