However, limited PPC relaxation controllability in existing Ga2O3 synapses restricts tunable plasticity. This work demonstrates a piezo/photo-gated modulated Ga2O3/ZnO synaptic device for multimodal perception. The device exhibits reconfigurable synaptic plasticity—including paired-pulse facilitation, short-to-long-term plasticity transition, and dynamic weight modulation—under 254 nm light pulses. Crucially, compressive strain (-0.57%) enhances synaptic weight change by 22% (from 1076.3% to 1310.2%), attributed to strain-induced band bending at the heterojunction interface that regulates carrier separation and oxygen vacancy recombination. This strain-modulated behavior enables intelligent health care to the human body, where electrocardiogram pattern recognition achieves 83.5% accuracy using a single-layer neural network. This study establishes a viable approach for developing functionally tunable photoelectric synapses with co-integrated sensing-memory-processing capabilities for artificial tactile-perception systems.","PeriodicalId":13198,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Electron Device Letters","volume":"46 9","pages":"1525-1528"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144918342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(ii) Remarkably, we demonstrate that the acceleration factor for gate breakdown is substantially lower at high stress voltage. (iii) The lower acceleration factor of degradation at high voltages is correlated to the number of holes which are injected and trapped in the gate stack.

Large-periphery devices with a total gate width of 92 mm were characterized using pulsed I-V and transient switching measurements. Pulsed output characteristics revealed a peak drain current of 13 A – the highest reported for a <inline-formula> <tex-math>$beta $ </tex-math></inline-formula>-Ga2O3 transistor—alongside an on-resistance of 720 m<inline-formula> <tex-math>$Omega $ </tex-math></inline-formula>. High-voltage switching transients were captured using on-wafer measurements and the devices were subjected to off-state drain voltages up to 350 V. The measured on-state drain current degraded from 8.5 A to 2.5 A as the off-state drain voltage increased from 10 V to 350 V, corresponding to a fourfold increase of the dynamic on-state resistance. This degradation is attributed to charge trapping at interface states or within the channel, possibly related to Fe-doping or implantation-induced defects. The observed switching dispersion correlates with low channel mobility and underscores the importance of optimizing the process technology as well as material quality. Nevertheless, the characterization of switching transients at 4 A / 300 V demonstrates the first kilowatt-class switching operation in <inline-formula> <tex-math>$beta $ </tex-math></inline-formula>-Ga2O3 power transistors, underscoring their potential for next-generation power electronics applications.","PeriodicalId":13198,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Electron Device Letters","volume":"46 9","pages":"1601-1604"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144918155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
