Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study focused on two types of devices (a) resistive switch type and (b) electrochemical transistor type to create an "artificial synaptic device" that mimics the transmission of information in the nerve and brain. As a result, we found that the neuromorphic behavior of (a) can be realized by using layer-by-layer film using redox-active polymer. In (b), we estimated the "information retention time", which is an index of neuromorphic behavior, using an active layer of conductive polymer mixed with an ion-conductive polymer. As a result, we found that the information retention time of the device became shorter on the addition of the ion-conductive polymer, indicating that the response speed of the neuromorphic device can be freely controlled.
