Suwan Kim

Professor Suwan Kim's research lab specializes in advanced semiconductor device technologies and integrated circuit design, with a primary focus on emerging transistor architectures such as Complementary FET (CFET) for next-generation nanoscale electronics. The lab investigates innovative cell synthesis methodologies, particularly optimizing transistor folding shapes and placement order in multi-row CFET-based standard cells to enhance area efficiency and routability. Their work bridges device physics, circuit design, and physical design automation to enable high-performance, scalable, and manufacturable integrated circuits. The lab also explores the impact of novel device structures on design-for-manufacturability and design-for-testability in advanced technology nodes.
