In situ training of an in-sensor artificial neural network based on ferroelectric photosensors

In-sensor computing has emerged as an ultrafast and low-power technique for next-generation machine vision. However, in situ training of in-sensor computing systems remains challenging due to the demands for both high-performance devices and efficient programming schemes. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the in situ training of an in-sensor artificial neural network (ANN) based on ferroelectric photosensors (FE-PSs). Our FE-PS exhibits self-powered, fast (4 bits) photoresponses, as well as long retention (50 days), high endurance (109), high write speed (100 ns), and small cycle-to-cycle and device-to-device variations (~0.66% and ~2.72%, respectively), all of which are desirable for the in situ training.…
