Living organisms use self-assembled structures that rely on controlling ions to form sensors and collect, process, and transmit information without using large scale integrated semiconducting circuits.[1] Developing electronic devices inspired by such strategies, ie, ion motion and electrochemical reactions, can lead to novel functionality. We show here how coupling of electrical and electrochemical properties can be designed to reproduce the characteristics of a Schmitt trigger in a single element. The Schmitt trigger is a circuit used for noise filtering and analog-to-digital converters,[2] and it can be used as a basic element of neuromorphic electronic systems.[3, 4] To form a simple Schmitt trigger in one device element, we couple electrochemical reactions of an ionic liquid gated metal oxide semiconductor and a common biomolecule to provide stable operation through a chemical mechanism. This coupling is a type of a chemical self-healing mechanism because of its reversibility, and we expect that such a mechanism can also be extended to other materials as well. We believe that new devices that use ion kinetics inspired by living organisms may lead to highly integrated electronic circuits for smart sensor and ubiquitous computing applications.[5]
