Using flexible neuromorphic electronics that emulate biological neuronal systems is an innovative approach for facilitating the implementation of next-generation artificial intelligence devices, including wearable computers, soft robotics and neuroprosthetics. Stretchable synaptic transistors based on field-effect (FETs), which have functions structures resembling those synapses, are promising technological devices in owing to their high flexibility, excellent biocompatibility, easy processability. However, obtaining stretchable FETs with various characteristics good stretching stabilities challenging. Significant efforts produce been undertaken; remarkable advances materials, fabrication processes, applications achieved. From this perspective, we discuss requirements advantages FETs. Moreover, representative methods used implement transistors, structural design development intrinsically introduced. Additionally, application sensory such as light, tactile, multisensory nervous also discussed. Finally, highlight possible challenges implementing using propose solutions overcome current limitations these suggest future research directions.
