Article Abstract

This review delves into the advancements in optoelectronic logic gate (OELG) devices, emphasizing their transformative potential in computational technology through the integration of optical and electronic components. OELGs present significant advantages over traditional electronic logic gates, including enhanced processing speed, bandwidth, and energy efficiency. The evolution of OELG architectures from single-device, single-logic systems to more sophisticated multidevice, multilogic, and reconfigurable OELGs is comprehensively explored. Key advancements include the development of materials and device structures enabling multifunctional logic operations and the incorporation of in-memory functionalities, critical for applications in high-performance computing and real-time data processing. This review also addresses the challenges that need to be overcome, such as stability, durability, integration with existing semiconductor technologies, and efficiency. By summarizing current research and proposing future directions, this review aims to guide the ongoing development of next-generation optoelectronic architectures, poised to redefine the landscape of optical computing, communication, and data processing.

Black phosphorus nanoribbons (BPNRs) with a tunable bandgap and intriguing electronic and optical properties hold strong potential for logic applications. However, efficiently producing high-quality BPNRs with precise control over their size and structure remains a great challenge. Here we achieved high-quality, narrow and clean BPNRs with nearly atomically smooth edges and well-defined edge orientation at high yield (up to ~95%) through the sonochemical exfoliation of the synthesized bulk BP crystals with a slightly enlarged lattice parameter along the armchair direction.
