Abstract

We propose a flexible artificial synapse based on a silicon-indium-zinc-oxide (SIZO)/ion gel hybrid structure directly fabricated on a polyimide substrate, where the channel conductance is effectively modulated via ion movement in the ion gel. This synaptic operation is possible because of the low-temperature deposition process of the SIZO layer (<150°C) and the surface roughness improvement of the poly(4-vinylphenol) buffer layer (12.29→1.81 nm). The flexible synaptic device exhibits extremely stable synaptic performance under high mechanical (bending 1500 times with a radius of 5 mm) and electrical stress (application of voltage pulses 104 times) without any degradation. Last, a sensory-neuromorphic system for sign language translation, which consists of stretchable resistive sensors and flexible artificial synapses, is designed and successfully evaluated via training and recognition simulation using hand sign patterns obtained by stretchable sensors (maximum recognition rate, 99.4%).
