These applications typically involve device operation under low-light illumination conditions. Despite these advantages, the recovery behavior of performance parameters after exposure to stress factors, including bias stress and photo-stress, has not been comprehensively explored, particularly in relation to reliability recovery. This study systematically investigates the impact of fixed-bias and pulsed-stress operations under low-light conditions. The experimental findings are further analyzed using Technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD) simulations to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Results indicate that long-term bias stress induces significant variations in the photocurrent characteristics of the devices. However, the introduction of pulsed operations in sensing applications markedly enhances the operational lifetime of the devices, offering a promising pathway to improving their reliability.","PeriodicalId":13210,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of the Electron Devices Society","volume":"13 ","pages":"524-531"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11030751","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144492201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the first time, an innovative update scheme that enables selective updating without requiring additional transistors is demonstrated. This approach is experimentally validated through an all-InGaZnO (IGZO) thin-film transistor (TFT) 3-transistor 1-capacitor (3T1C) synaptic circuit. IGZO TFTs are specifically chosen for their ability to extend retention times due to extremely low leakage currents and their simplified fabrication processes at low temperatures. Fundamental synaptic operations, including controllable weight updates, long data retention, and stable programming endurance, are confirmed experimentally. Additionally, optimizing operational voltage conditions improves weight update behavior, which enhances network training performance. System-level analysis using a neural network hardware simulator with a derived weight update model demonstrates high training accuracy on the MNIST handwritten digit dataset and achieves maximum accuracy over 98%. With the proposed selection method and tunable weight updates, 3T1C synaptic circuit is a promising candidate for scalable large-scale deep neural network accelerators based on analog compute-in-memory technology.","PeriodicalId":13210,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of the Electron Devices Society","volume":"13 ","pages":"510-515"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11026025","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144367074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ONNs are also extremely energy efficient for AI workloads compared to conventional Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). Analysis of fault and failure tolerance of ONNs is crucial for understanding the reliability of the networks. This work illustrates the fault tolerance of the ONN in solving constraint optimization problems such as vertex coloring and digit recognition problems. For vertex coloring, a 4-node network across various configurations and different component failure levels has been analyzed using a device oscillator. The findings confirm that the network is highly robust to failures, demonstrating tolerance to variations in resistance of up to 40% and in capacitance of up to 60%. The analysis was then extended to bigger networks varying from 16-node network to 784-node network, using a digital oscillator for digit recognition of digits 0, 1, and 7. The results suggest that the tolerance shoots up rapidly as the network size increases, enhancing the stability of the ONN, making it highly robust. A saturation point exists beyond which the law of diminishing returns is observed. A tolerance of up to 99.9% in frequency fault and up to 59% in stuck-at fault is observed for extremely large networks of size 784 neurons.","PeriodicalId":13210,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of the Electron Devices Society","volume":"13 ","pages":"899-908"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11023548","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144758427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Third, the performance of these models is rigorously evaluated on a variety of solar cells under diverse environmental conditions. Results demonstrated the models’ accuracy and robustness, with Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) analysis showing superior alignment between simulated and experimental I-V curves compared to existing single-, double-, and triple-diode solar cell models from the literature.
