Introduction
Physics
The courses in the Physics Department are designed to teach students how to observe and understand nature from the viewpoint of physics so they can be leaders in physics, scientific technique, and society. Members of the Physics Department carry out research in a wide range of areas, including quantum-functional semiconductors and their applications, nano-materials, nuclear physics, solid-state material theory, electron correlations in quantum materials, spin electronics, and physics. The Department hosts the inter-disciplinary research center (SRC) in semiconductor nanotechnology, which focuses on thin film growth, device fabrication, and spin related transport.
Semiconductor science
The Department balances teaching and researching the entire field of semiconductor science ranging from understanding of principles to application of the principles, such as materials and elements of semiconductors, high frequency semiconductors and systems for telecommunication, semiconductor designing and system integration, crystallization and device processes, etc. The department also provides hands-on experience for intensive education. The Department produces creative, knowledgeable and talented leaders of research and the semiconductor industry of the future. The department hosts many kinds of projects supported by the government and industry. Thus, most graduate students are fully supported during the study of their courses. Most of our alumni are now actively working at Korean Semiconductor Companies like Samsung, Hynix, Dongbu, and so on.
