Project & PATANT

1. Development of in situ graphene growth technology by new concept for transparent and flexible electronic devices (2015. 05. ~ 2018. 04.),  NRF,  255,000 US$/Year (304,000,000 원/년)
   -In this research, we investigated the adhesion mechanism in which the Ti adhesive layer generally used in electronic devices exhibits strong bonding strength with various substrates, and wrinkle-free graphene was manufactured on various functional substrates on which the Ti layer was deposited. It is applied as the upper and lower electrodes of the product, replacing the existing metal and oxide electrodes. Based on this, a new concept of in-situ graphene source technology that directly grows graphene on a functional substrate on which a Ti adhesive layer is deposited, which does not require a transfer process, is secured.
   
   

2. Development of in situ graphene growth technology by new concept for transparent and flexible electronic devices (2018. 03. ~ 2021. 02.),  NRF,  255,000 US$/Year (304,000,000 원/년)
   -This research aims to develop high-quality graphene manufacturing technology based on carbon-based nanomaterials for future information electronic device applications and to develop a new concept of transparent and flexible large area in-situ graphene growth source technology. In this project, we reported the unprecedented flexibility of 15% tensile strain and stretchability of 140% using graphene-FET devices.
   
   

3. Development of n-type and p-type graphene TFTs based on monolayer graphene grown directly at 100oC (2021. 03. ~ 2024. 02.),  NRF extended project, 255,000 US$/Year (305,000,000 원/년)
   -This research aims to  fabricate the N- and B-doped graphene FET for semiconductor applications. In final third year, pressure/strain sensors using pristine graphene, N-doped, and B-doped graphene FETs will be studied.
