systematic comparison of the representative zero-power optoelectronic synapses with different zero-power
mechanisms: Schottky junction, heterojunctions, and the PTE effect. The device structure, wavelength,
minimum usable illumination, electrical power consumption, mechanical property, and decay time are
compared for evaluating the suitability of wearable neuromorphic platforms. In this section, we summarize
recent developments in zero-power optoelectronic synapses by categorizing them into these three
representative mechanisms.
