The polarization switching dynamics are critical for achieving high-speed, high-bit-density neuromorphic hardware. Here, we report a 1D-2D asymmetric heterojunction composed of a single-element tellurium (Te) nanowire and a magnetic metal, Fe3GaTe2. Piezoresponse force microscopy reveals reversible polarization switching at room temperature. Utilizing this ferroelectric heterojunction, we construct ferroelectric semiconductor field-effect transistors that exhibit tunable resistance states exceeding 7 bits, featuring an on\/off ratio of 103, a retention time exceeding 103 s, and ultrafast switching down to 20 ns. Moreover, the transistor enables accurate recognition of six kinds of micro-defects with an accuracy of 97.1% on the workpiece surface by convolutional neural network. This work establishes the intrinsic relationship between ferroelectric polarization and resistance modulation, providing a device platform for next-generation multilevel storage and ultrafast neuromorphic computing networks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nano16150935","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,29]],"date-time":"2026-07-29T17:01:46Z","timestamp":1785344506000},"page":"935","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Te\/Fe3GaTe2 1D-2D Ferroelectric Heterojunction Transistors Enabling Ultrafast Multi-State Switching for Workpiece Surface Defect Inspection"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Shiqiang","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444, China"},{"name":"School of Physical Science and Technology, Suzhou University of Science and Technology, Suzhou 215009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zewei","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical Science and Technology, Suzhou University of Science and Technology, Suzhou 215009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tianyun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical Science and Technology, Suzhou University of Science and Technology, Suzhou 215009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ziyu","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical Science and Technology, Suzhou University of Science and Technology, Suzhou 215009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinlei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical Science and Technology, Suzhou University of Science and Technology, Suzhou 215009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yucheng","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical Science and Technology, Suzhou University of Science and Technology, Suzhou 215009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"119","DOI":"10.1103\/RevModPhys.84.119","article-title":"Domain Wall Nanoelectronics","volume":"84","author":"Catalan","year":"2012","journal-title":"Rev.
