摘要

Energy-efficient neuromorphic hardware requires precise and reliable control of synaptic weight updates. However, in most charge-trap-based artificial synapses, weight modulation is directly coupled to programming pulse parameters, limiting independent control of plasticity gain and retention. Here, we introduce a drain–gate programming scheme in a MoS2/hBN/Fe2O3 flash memory that enables decoupled control of carrier injection and synaptic weight updates. The device exhibits an on/off ratio of ~107 and maintains clearly distinguishable on and off states over >10 years of extrapolated retention. Beyond conventional gate-driven programming, the proposed drain-gate pulse scheme independently controls the direction and magnitude of conductance updates. As a result, the device exhibits highly linear conductance modulation and achieves 1024 distinguishable conductance states, representing the highest multistate capability reported for flash-memory devices to date. This high analog-state density highlights the potential of the device for high-accuracy in-memory computing and neuromorphic applications.
