Welcome to Nanoelectronic Devices and Integration Laboratory (NDIL)!

In NDIL at Ewha Womans University, we are developing novel nanoscale electron devices including both logic and memory semiconductor devices and advanced process integration. Based on these core component and fabrication technologies, highly scalable, low-power, and high-speed intelligent solid-state integrated systems are pursued. We are interested in resolving the contemporary issues in industry as well as the highly functional cutting-edge electron devices along with nanofabrication technologies for future electronics.


Anyone who wants to join our research group as a graduate student or a postdoctoral researcher is welcome to contact Prof. Seongjae Cho through felixcho@ewha.ac.kr.
