“…Using the linear fitting of the curves, the opposite polarities of the oxide charges in the Gd x O y and Al x O y dielectric layers were determined to be +4.4 × 10 −7 and −5.4 × 10 −7 C cm −2 , respectively, which were similar to those proposed previously. [ 57,58 ] Moreover, the capacitance versus voltage ( C – V ) characteristics of the Gd x O y ‐ and Al x O y ‐based CRFETs were measured before and after the stress of V G − V FB = +3 and −3 V for 1 s, respectively, and are shown in Figure 3b. It is worth noting that only the vertical shift, instead of the horizontal shift, of the C – V curves were observed after the voltage stress, implying a modification of the oxide capacitance.…”

The nervous system is a vital part of organisms to survive and it endows them with remarkable abilities, such as perception, recognition, regulation, learning, and decision‐making, by intertwining myriad neurons. To realize such outstanding efficacies and functions, many artificial devices and systems have been investigated to emulate the operating principles of the nervous system. Here, an artificial reflex arc (ARA) and artificial pain modulation system (APMS) are proposed to imitate the unconscious behaviors of the spinal cord. GdxOy‐ and AlxOy‐based charge‐regulated field‐effect transistors (CRFETs) with a monolayer graphene channel are fabricated and adopted as inhibitory and excitatory synapses, respectively, under the same pulse signals to mimic the biological reflex arc through a connection with a poly(vinylidene fluoride‐co‐trifluoroethylene)‐based actuator. Additionally, a memristor is integrated with a CRFET as the interneuron to regulate the Dirac point by controlling the voltage drop on the graphene channel, analogous to the descending pain‐inhibition system in the spinal cord, to prevent excessive pain perception. The proposed ARA and APMS provide a significant step forward to realizing the functions of the nervous system, giving promising potential for developing future intelligent alarm systems, neuroprosthetics, and neurorobotics.
