Professor Geon-wook Wang designed a research project to solve unpredictable and unstable driving characteristics due to the quantum interference effect, tunneling phenomenon, unstable topping, and overheating caused by the high integration of existing silicon-based semiconductor devices.

His research aims to fabricate vertical molecular transistors that are entirely different from the existing ones and to implement logic devices (NAND/NOR, inverters) based on them for the first time globally. It can be a platform technology for vertical molecular transistors by developing molecular-scale vertical transistors with sub-5 nm junction lengths using two-dimensional materials and molecular materials as active layers.

It is expected to be commercially available as a major material and element for next-generation electronic devices requiring low power consumption and ultra-lightweight. This research will provide a critical development point for securing original technology for future appliances and molecular electronics. It is a challenging research project that drastically improves the area where two-dimensional functional electronic materials have been made.
