Sub-femtosecond Figure-of-Merit Millimeter-wave Switches via Solution-processed MoSβ for 6G Radio-frequency Front-ends
This work presents a transfer-free, large-area solution-processed MoSβ memristive switch platform for energy-efficient mmWave RF front-ends, enabling zero-static-power operation, sub-femtosecond RF performance, and circuit-level phase-shifter demonstrations for next-generation 6G systems.
π¬ Key Highlights:
mmWave RF Switching: Demonstrates low-loss, high-isolation, nonvolatile RF switching up to 67 GHz with zero-static-power operation.
Sub-femtosecond RF Performance: Achieves an exceptional RONΒ·COFF figure-of-merit of ~0.8 fs, corresponding to a cutoff frequency of ~187 THz.
Energy-efficient Switching: Enables rapid 76 ns switching with low switching energy of 1.57 nJ and endurance exceeding 2,000 cycles.
Novel SHUNT Configuration: Introduces inverse-state SHUNT operation to suppress self-switching while improving power handling and linearity.
Phase Shifter Applications: Demonstrates circuit-level viability through true-time-delay and hybrid-coupled phase shifters for mmWave beam-steering systems.
A huge congratulations to the first authors, Changwoo Pyo and Sungmoon Park, and all co-authors for this excellent work!

π¬ Key Highlights:
mmWave RF Switching: Demonstrates low-loss, nonvolatile RF switching up to 67 GHz with zero-static-power operation.
High RF Performance: Achieves a cutoff frequency of 33.2 THz through low ON resistance and ultra-low OFF capacitance.
Energy Efficiency: Enables low-voltage resistive switching with ~140 pJ switching energy.
In-Memory Computing: Supports analog vectorβmatrix multiplication using multilevel conductance states in oxidized MoSβ memristors.
6G Signal Processing: Validates hardware-aware 1024-QAM, DFT, MIMO detection, and CSI compression simulations.

We are thrilled to announce that our latest research has been published in Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical! This work presents a scalable, label-free RF biosensor designed for the precise detection of single-stranded circulating cell-free DNA (ss-cfDNA)βa crucial biomarker for non-invasive cancer diagnosis.
π¬ Key Highlights:
Scalability: Utilizes spin-coated MoSβ thin films for cost-effective, large-area fabrication.
Mechanism: Sensing is driven by ss-cfDNA adsorption, which induces n-doping and local dielectric changes, detectable via resonant frequency shifts.
Reusability: Features a novel cDNA-mediated regeneration strategy, allowing the sensor to be reused for over 5 cycles with high stability.
Specificity: Demonstrated high specificity for ssDNA (targeting AluSx1 cancer elements) over dsDNA.
A huge congratulations to the co-first authors, Seungchan Lee and Eunho Choi, for leading this outstanding work! This was a fantastic collaboration with Prof. Woojung Shin (KAIST) and Prof. Joohoon Kang (Yonsei Univ.).

Our latest work on non-volatile βzero-powerβ switches has been published in Nature Electronics.
These switches feature DC-500GHz bandwidth and can transmit data at 100Gb/s at ~300GHz. They can also be switched in less than a nanosecond. This performance meets/exceeds the IEEE 6G standardization target.
