유기 연성 전자소자 및 시스템 연구실

Organic Soft Electronics and System Lab.

본 연구실은 유기반도체 기반의 연성(軟性, soft) 전자소자에 관한 연구에 중점을 두고 있습니다. 연성 전자소자란 구부릴 수 있는 특성뿐만 아니라 신축성도 가지고 있어 다양한 변형에도 전기적 특성을 유지할 수 있는 전자소자로서 전자 피부, 웨어러블 기기, 생체 이식형 장치, 신경 인터페이스, 고급 의료 시스템 등과 같은 다양하고 광범위한 미래지향적인 응용분야에 적용이 가능합니다. 주로 화학적 지식을 기반으로 새로운 연성 재료를 개발하고 이를 응용함으로써 기존의 비신축성 재료에 신축성을 부여하기 위해 이용되었던 복잡한 방식을 거치지 않고 효율적인 공정을 가능하게 하는 것을 목적으로 두고 있습니다. 또한, 학제 간 연구를 통해 다양한 특성을 갖는 전자 소자 및 혁신적인 응용 기기의 실현을 추구하기 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있습니다.
Our research group is mostly focusing on developing soft electronic devices based on organic semiconductors. Soft (flexible/stretchable) electronics are highly demanded a wide range of applications that cannot be easily achieved from traditional rigid/brittle electronics such as e-skin, wearable electronics, bio-implantable devices, nerve interfaces, advanced healthcare system, etc. We mainly focus on developing novel soft materials by understanding the chemistry of materials for the facile fabrication process unlike the complicated process required for the stretchability of intrinsically non-stretchable materials. Besides, we are spending much effort into pursuing the realization of various deformable electronics and innovative applications through interdisciplinary studies.
