We investigated the effect of Mg doping to a LiCoO2 channel on the synaptic plasticity of a Li ion-gated transistor. Mg doping increased the initial channel conductance (nearly three orders of magnitude), due to substitution of Co3+ by Mg2+ and compensation of hole creation. The Mg-doped channel transistor showed more linear conductance change than the undoped channel transistor in response to gate voltage pulses. Artificial neural network simulations using long-term plasticity of the doped channel transistor showed recognition accuracy of ~80% for handwritten digits, which is higher than ~65 % with the undoped channel transistor.
