Professor Byung-Hoon Lee’s Research Team Wins “Outstanding Poster Award” at the 31st KCS Conference

Professor Byung-Hoon Lee’s Research Team Wins Three “Outstanding Poster Awards” at the 31st Korean Conference on Semiconductors (KCS 2024)

PhD candidates Ki-Young Kim, Min-Jae Kim, and Jae-Hyun Jeon from POSTECH’s Department of Electrical Engineering (advisor: Professor Byung-Hoon Lee) were honored with three Outstanding Poster Awards at the 31st Korean Conference on Semiconductors (KCS 2024).

The awarded research papers include:

  1. “Complementary Field-Effect Transistor Using Vertical Integration of ZnO/Te” by Ki-Young Kim
  2. “Low-Temperature Characteristics Analysis of P-Type Tellurium FET” by Min-Jae Kim
  3. “Scalability Study of Delta-Conductance Switching Devices for Logic Applications” by Jae-Hyun Jeon

Research Significance

These studies propose innovative applications utilizing ultra-thin semiconductors tailored for next-generation computing environments, including CFET (Complementary Field-Effect Transistor), pFET (P-Type Field-Effect Transistor), and Anti-Ambipolar Switch technologies.

The research not only explores novel device architectures but also provides a critical foundation for advancing semiconductor technologies beyond silicon. By maximizing the electrical properties of ultra-thin materials, the proposed techniques demonstrate significant potential to reduce power consumption, enhance operation speed, and enable more efficient and scalable devices.
