- Ultrafast, ultralow power consuming terabit-scale memory integration based on 2D materials
- Ultrafast, ultralow power consuming terabit-scale memory integration based on 2D materials Self-selective memory based on 2D graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is now available for the IoT (internet of things) and AI (artificial intelligence) system. Energy Science Prof. YANG, HEEJUN Researcher SUN LINFENG Prof. YANG’s research group recently reported a new conceptual memory system that can be integrated up to terabit-scale by using 2D graphene and h-BN. The 2D memory device operates with an ultralow power (micro-Jules) and a time constant of tens of nanoseconds, which is 100 times faster than current non-volatile memory devices (e.g., flash memory). Unlike conventional phase change memory (PRAM) or resistance random access memory (RRAM), such high device integration with 2D materials has demonstrated various fabrication and materials issues. Moreover, most 2D semiconductors have shown not-reliable operations. Prof. YANG’s team conceived a new conceptual memory device: combining volatile and non-volatile memory devices based on representative and most stable 2D materials; graphene and h-BN. Thus, the self-selective memory does not require a ‘selector device’ that is essential for other integrated devices. Moreover, the 2D materials allow device operation with 1000 times lower power consumption and 100 faster speed. Quantum tunneling through the 2D insulator and a reliable filament formation at the inert graphene were used for the operation. Prof. YANG mentioned that the ‘self-selective memory’ is the first case to demonstrate the feasibility for large-scale memory device integration with 2D materials. While conventional oxide materials show the limitations on the operating power and speed, the self-selective memory will be widely used for the future memory applications in AI and other neuromorphic industry. This research has been published in Nature Communications (IF=11.880) on July 18, 2019.

- Development of chameleon-like semiconductor nano device
- Development of chameleon-like semiconductor nano device High-tech hardware technology for Big Data and AI Energy Science Prof. JEONG, MUNSEOK Researcher NGOC THANH DUONG Professor Munseok JEONG and researcher Ngoc Thanh Duong (in the doctor’s course) has developed a device technology through a joint research with Prof. Sungjoo LIM. The newly developed device is able to output different notation system (binary, ternary and quinary at maximum) depending on the existence of light. It has been posted on the world renowned journal ACS Nano(IF=13.709)’s April 23rd issue. A normal integrated circuit operates by storing either 1 or 0 as a “bit”. This is because the output of a device is recognized by two types: on and off. If an output larger than ternary notation can be realized in a device, it can extensively improve the performance of integrated circuit. The minimal unit of computer data processing “byte” uses 8 “bit” as the standard unit. Setting 1 byte as a standard, 6561 outputs can be produced by using ternary notation. This is 25 times greater than the binary notation, which produces 256 outputs. Also, if it is possible to realize a quinary notation, the performance will improve 1000 times with just a single byte. [Thesis] inverter device that changes notation by laser reaction The research team used two-dimensional materials such as Molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) and Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) compound to create Van der Waals heterojunction device. They were able to develop multi-level electronic device by using the negative differential transconductance phenomenon discovered from the heterojunction device. Prof. JEONG said, “This research is expected overcome the difficulties in 4th industrial revolution such as the high power consumption of big data and AI and data processing speed by improving the efficiency of electronic devices.” This research was conducted in support of Institute for Basic Science and National Research Foundation of Korea.

- World’s first discovery of defect-related Raman scattering signal by using tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
- World’s first discovery of defect-related Raman scattering signal by using tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy Research team has detected defect-related Raman scattering signal of monolayer tungsten disulfide using tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS). Energy Science Prof. JEONG, MUNSEOK Researcher LEE, CHANWOO Prof. Mun Seok JEONG’s research team (Department of Energy Science) reported that the defect-related Raman scattering signal was successfully obtained from a monolayer tungsten disulfide by using tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) materials have been widely investigated due to their optical properties such as the bandgap engineering that depends on the number of layers. In particular, monolayer tungsten disulfide (WS2) shows intense photoluminescence with a relatively high quantum yield among TMDs. Thus, monolayer WS2 has attracted much interest as an outstanding material for 2D optoelectronic devices. To achieve the high performance of optoelectronic devices, the defect-free WS2 is highly required. Accordingly, it is necessary to establish a quality evaluation method by investigating the defects of monolayer WS2. The research team was able to detect new signals in areas with many defects by using tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, which can simultaneously perform surface nanostructure analysis and optical measurement. In addition, density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed that this signal is attributable to the sulfur atom (S) vacancies. The researchers called it a "D mode" from the defect and reported that it provides a criterion for evaluating the quality of monolayer WS2 compared to the intensity of the signal in the defect-free area. Prof. JEONG said, “It is notable that this study was the first to detect signals related to defects in two-dimensional semiconductor materials. In the future, it can be applied to various two-dimensional semiconductor materials to determine quality evaluation standards, and it can accelerate the commercialization of two-dimensional semiconductors. These findings have been published in the journal “ACS Nano (IF = 13.709)” (October 23rd 2018). This work was supported by IBS-R011-D1 and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) Grant funded by the Korean government (MSIP) (2016R1A2B2015581). Mr. Chanwoo LEE (Ph.D. candidate, Departmentof Energy Science) participated as the lead author and Dr. Seung Mi LEE (Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science) participated as a co-corresponding author.
