Ph.D. student Tae-In-Lee, a researcher in Professor Byung-Jin Cho’s lab, won the top prize at the 26th Korean Semiconductor Science Congress.
The prize-winning paper was entitled, “EOT scaling (~5.7Å) using Y-ZrO2 gate dielectric in Ge-based element, and reduction of leakage current and interfacial trap.”
Tae-In Lee surpassed the existing material and process method by using an insulating membrane called Y-doped ZrO2 and H2 high-pressure annealing to achieve the world’s highest level of 5.7Å (5.7 nm), and developed an excellent, very low gate structure.
Ph.D. candidate Jae-Young Yoo (Advisor: Prof. Junbo Yoon) was awarded the Outstanding Student Paper Award at the IEEE MEMS 2019.
This award was selected after a thorough examination of 490 student papers in total. First, 18 Outstanding Student Paper Award Finalists were selected by the Society and finally, only the three finalists were awarded the Outstanding Student Paper. This is the first time that a Korean university student has been awarded.
Congratulations to Jae-Young Yoo and Junbo Yoon.

Prof. John Kim was recently inducted into the IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO) conference Hall-of-Fame and this is the first time that a researcher from Korean academia is inducted.
MICRO, along with ISCA and HPCA, is considered to be the most prestigious conference in architecture, with MICRO having one of the longest histories as this year’s MICRO was the 51st edition of the conference.
This accomplishment results from that Prof. John Kim is the best researcher in Korea in the field of Interconnection Networks and Parallel Architectures and he published 8 or more papers at the conference.
Prof. Kim was also inducted into ISCA hall-of-fame last year and he is the only researcher from Asia to be elected to the hall-of-fame for both ISCA and MICRO and this fact shows that the excellence of his research is acknowledged in the whole world.
