Recent Advancements in 2D Material-Based Memristor Technology Toward Neuromorphic Computing.

Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials have recently gained significant attention and have been extensively studied for their potential applications in neuromorphic computing, where they are used to mimic the functions of the human brain. Their unique properties, including atomic-level thickness, exceptional mechanical stability, and tunable optical and electrical characteristics, make them highly versatile for a wide range of applications. In this review, we offer a comprehensive analysis of 2D material-based memristors.

Heterogeneous Integration of Complementary Field-Effect Transistors for High-Performance Micro LED Displays.

This study investigates a micro light-emitting diode (µLED) pixel circuit using the heterogeneous integration of complementary field-effect transistors (CFETs). The CFETs are fabricated using a semiconductor layer composed of tellurium (Te) and indium-gallium-zinc oxide (IGZO) layers. Te and IGZO layers in the heterostructure IGZO/Te film exhibit hexagonal and amorphous phases, respectively, indicating that each layer maintains independent material characteristics.

Nonvolatile High-Speed Switching Zn-O-N Thin-Film Transistors with a Bilayer Structure.

Zinc oxynitride (ZnON) has the potential to overcome the performance and stability limitations of current amorphous oxide semiconductors because ZnON-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) have a high field-effect mobility of 50 cm/Vs and exceptional stability under bias and light illumination. However, due to the weak zinc-nitrogen interaction, ZnON is chemically unstable─N is rapidly volatilized in air. As a result, recent research on ZnON TFTs has focused on improving air stability.

Expeditiously Crystallized Pure Orthorhombic-HfZrO for Negative Capacitance Field Effect Transistors.

Ultralow-power logic devices are next-generation electronics in which their maximum efficacies are realized at minimum input power expenses. The integration of ferroelectric negative capacitors in the regular gate stacks of two-dimensional field-effect transistors addresses two intriguing challenges in today's electronics; short channel effects and high operating voltages. The complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor-compatible HfZrO (HZO) is an excellent ferroelectric material crystallized in a noncentrosymmetric o-phase.

High-Performance Non-Volatile InGaZnO Based Flash Memory Device Embedded with a Monolayer Au Nanoparticles.

Non-volatile memory (NVM) devices based on three-terminal thin-film transistors (TFTs) have gained extensive interest in memory applications due to their high retained characteristics, good scalability, and high charge storage capacity. Herein, we report a low-temperature (<100 °C) processed top-gate TFT-type NVM device using indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) semiconductor with monolayer gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as a floating gate layer to obtain reliable memory operations. The proposed NVM device exhibits a high memory window (ΔV) of 13.

Smart Patch for Skin Temperature: Preliminary Study to Evaluate Psychometrics and Feasibility.

There is a need for continuous, non-invasive monitoring of biological data to assess health and wellbeing. Currently, many types of smart patches have been developed to continuously monitor body temperature, but few trials have been completed to evaluate psychometrics and feasibility for human subjects in real-life scenarios. The aim of this feasibility study was to evaluate the reliability, validity and usability of a smart patch measuring body temperature in healthy adults.

High-Intensity Ultrasound-Assisted Low-Temperature Formulation of Lanthanum Zirconium Oxide Nanodispersion for Thin-Film Transistors.

The process complexity, limited stability, and distinct synthesis and dispersion steps restrict the usage of multicomponent metal oxide nanodispersions in solution-processed electronics. Herein, sonochemistry is employed for the synthesis and formulation of a colloidal nanodispersion of high-permittivity (κ) multicomponent lanthanum zirconium oxide (LZO: LaZrO). The continuous propagation of intense ultrasound waves in the aqueous medium allows the generation of oxidant species which, on reaction, form nanofragments of crystalline LZO at ∼80 °C.

Wireless Real-Time Temperature Monitoring of Blood Packages: Silver Nanowire-Embedded Flexible Temperature Sensors.

Real-time temperature monitoring of individual blood packages capable of wireless data transmission to ensure the safety of blood samples and minimize wastes has become a critical issue in recent years. In this work, we propose flexible temperature sensors using silver nanowires (NWs) and a flexible colorless polyimide (CPI) film integrated with a wireless data transmission circuit. The unique design of the temperature sensors was achieved by patterning Ag NWs using a three-dimensional printed mold and embedding the patterned Ag NWs in the CPI film (p-Ag NWs/CPI), which resulted in a flexible temperature sensor with electrical, mechanical, and temperature stability for applications in blood temperature monitoring.

A systematic and statistical study on the capability of the proposed device is presented, and the biological binding events are directly confirmed and characterized through intensive structural and electrical analysis.
