2025-09-05<(From left) Ph.D candidate Jaeha Hwang, Ph.D candidate Jungi Song ,Professor Kayoung Lee from Electrical Engineering> Silicon semiconductors used in existing photodetectors have low light responsivity, and the two-dimensional semiconductor MoS₂ (molybdenum disulfide) is so thin that doping processes to control its electrical properties are difficult, limiting the realization of high-performance photodetectors. The KAIST research team has overcome this technical limitation and developed
