Abstract

ABSTRACT The rapid growth of data‐intensive computing and optoelectronic information processing demands memory devices with high density, multilevel programmability, and fast operation. Floating‐gate memory has attracted considerable attention due to its reliable charge‐storage characteristics, but it is still limited by low storage density, restricted multilevel capability, and the lack of optoelectronic integration. Here, we report a Molybdenum ditelluride/hexagonal boron nitride/multilayer graphene (MoTe 2 /hBN/MLG) van der Waals heterojunction that achieves an ultrawide p‐type memory window (∼199.2 V), a high memory window ratio of 90.5%, and an ultrahigh storage density (>10 13 cm −2 ). Our device demonstrates an ultrafast response speed of 50 ns, robust endurance over 10 6 cycles, and reliable data retention projected for 10 years. Under electrical pulse modulation, we achieved multilevel memory exceeding 6 bits and successfully emulated synaptic plasticity. Furthermore, robust negative photoconductance (NPC) enables laser‐driven optical modulation with multilevel memory exceeding 7 bits. In addition, we employed a hybrid digital–analog architecture to simulate in‐memory computing for CIFAR‐10 image classification, achieving an accuracy exceeding 95%, comparable to pure digital implementations. Together, these advances position our device as a promising building block for scalable neuromorphic and optoelectronic information technologies.
