Abstract
Neuromorphic computing, an innovative technology inspired by the human brain, has attracted increasing attention as a promising technology for the development of artificial intelligence systems. This study proposes synaptic transistors with a Li1-xAlxTi2-x(PO4)3 (LATP) layer to analyze the conductance modulation linearity, which is essential for weight mapping and updating during on-chip learning processes. The high ionic conductivity of the LATP electrolyte provides a large hysteresis window and enables linear weight update in synaptic devices. The results demonstrate that optimizing the LATP layer thickness improves the conductance modulation and linearity of synaptic transistors during potentiation and degradation. A 20 nm-thick LATP layer results in the most nonlinear depression (αd = -6.59), whereas a 100 nm-thick LATP layer results in the smallest nonlinearity (αd = -2.22). Additionally, a device with the optimal 100 nm-thick LATP layer exhibits the highest average recognition accuracy of 94.8% and the smallest fluctuation, indicating that the linearity characteristics of a device play a crucial role in weight update during learning and can significantly affect the recognition accuracy.
