Optoelectronic memristor based on a-C:Te film for muti-mode reservoir computing

Abstract Optoelectronic memristor is generating growing research interest for high efficient computing and sensing-memory applications. In this work, an optoelectronic memristor with Au/a-C:Te/Pt structure is developed. Synaptic functions, i.e., excitatory post-synaptic current and pair-pulse facilitation are successfully mimicked with the memristor under electrical and optical stimulations. More importantly, the device exhibited distinguishable response currents by adjusting 4-bit input electrical/optical signals. A multi-mode reservoir computing (RC) system is constructed with the optoelectronic memristors to emulate human tactile-visual fusion recognition and an accuracy of 98.7% is achieved. The optoelectronic memristor provides potential for developing multi-mode RC system.
