In order to meet
the needs (generally to improved performance and higher degree of completion)
for frequently changing competitiveness, transistor, flash memory, dynamic
random access memory (DRAM), application processor and any other semiconductor
devices have been scaled down faster in semiconductor industry. Particularly,
Samsung Electronics, Hynix Semiconductor and LG Display, the semiconductor
companies of South Korea, have achieved a dominant position in their segments.
It has been demonstrated that they have responded swiftly to secure next-generation
technologies, such as new device structures, materials, processes, novel
concepts, reliably at an early stage and these efforts have made them industry
leaders. The goal of
international collaborative research in academic institution is pioneering new
region for next generation semiconductor which works with entirely different
from current silicon-based semiconductor devices along with improving
conventional technology. This kind of research becomes more effective and
significant with the trend of open innovation. In above flow, we, advanced
nanodevice laboratory (AND), are studying about both conventional silicon-based
semiconductor technology (process, device, basic circuit component) and
emerging semiconductor technology, noticing the importance of our role
