Abstract
films. These vacancies introduce defect states as deep trap levels in the band gap, enabling efficient charge trapping and significantly prolonging the decaying time. The presence of Te doping and Se vacancies was confirmed by PL, Raman, and XPS characterization. Ultra-high vacuum stencil lithography technique has been adopted for the fabrication of arrayed optoelectronic devices that exhibit prominent excitatory postsynaptic currents with the paired-pulse facilitation up to 197% under ultraviolet illumination. Therefore, essential synaptic behaviors like the spike-number-, spike-rate-, and spike-intensity-dependent plasticity have been demonstrated, along with the in-sensor computation application of hardware image sharpening capability. This work offers a new method of vacancy engineering in large-scale 2D semiconductors for future application in integrated neuromorphic devices.
