Our research group focuses on the development of functional polymers and hybrid perovskites in various optoelectronic devices, including thin-film transistor (TFT), (photo-)memory, light-emitting diode (LED), and solar cell devices. We particularly focus on the relationship between the structure and properties of polymers and perovskites. In addition to advances in the controlled synthesis of these solution-processable semiconductors, we also explore innovative interface and device engineering to optimize device performance. In this presentation, we will share our recent works on the design of conjugated polymers and Sn-based 2D perovskites for transistor memories, and extend this to synaptic transistors. We will first discuss the design of organic materials for dielectric and active layers to realize organic synaptic transistors, followed by their device applications and optimization. Finally, we will highlight the potential of 2D Sn-based perovskites in memory and synaptic applications.
