The synaptic devices based on various electronic materials have been widely investigated to realize functions of artificial information processing with low power consumption. In this work, a novel CVD graphene field-effect transistor is fabricated with ionic liquid gate to study the synaptic behaviors based on the electrical-double-layer mechanism. It is found that the excitative current is enhanced with the pulse width, voltage amplitude and frequency. With different situations of the applied pulse voltage, the inhibitory and excitatory behaviors are successfully simulated, at the same time the short-term memory is also realized. The corresponding ions migration and charge density variation are analyzed in the different time segments. This work provides the guidance for the design of artificial synaptic electronics with ionic liquid gate for low-power computing application.
