Eunseo Cho (Advised by Prof. Dongwook Kim), an undergraduate student from the Department of Physics, and Jihyun Kim (Advised by Prof. William JO), a student from the integrated program, won the Best Poster Award at the 20th International Symposium on the Physics of Semiconductors and Applications (ISPSA) 2022 held at the Ramada Plaza Jeju Hotel from July 17 to 21, 2022.
ISPSA, the first international academic conference of the Korean Physical Society, has served as an academic forum for top domestic and foreign researchers of semiconductor physics to share recent research results and discuss cooperation methods. At ISPSA 2022, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, about 760 papers were published in eight areas, including quantum information, artificial intelligence, energy, low-dimensional semiconductors, and next-generation semiconductors, under the slogan "Semiconductors of the past, present, and future.” More than 1,050 scholars and researchers in the semiconductor field from 20 countries, including Korea, attended the event in a hybrid (online and face-to-face) format. A total of 411 papers were published in the ISPSA poster session, and 32 papers were selected for the Best Poster Award after a rigorous screening process.
Eunseo Cho published the experiment and calculation result which identifies the mechanisms of unusual optical absorption enhancement effects in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors, under the title of “Reflection Spectra of Metal/WS2-Multilayer/Metal Structures.” Kim Jihyun published the experiment and calculation result on improving crystallinity and mobility enhancement of electric charge, which are the main causes of improved efficiency by passivation of the SnO2 electron transport layer used in perovskite solar cell to reduce surface defects, under the title of “Improved Charge Transport of NH4Cl Modified SnO2 for Efficient Hybrid Perovskite Planar Solar Cells.”
"At a time of manpower shortage of semiconductor research, we are happy to get assured of Ewha students’ high level of research,” said Professor William JO of Physics, adding, "We hope that Ehwa's excellent students will grow into excellent academic follow-up generations and contribute to the development of the national key industries.”
