Pixel Architecture for Scaling Down

Kyungdo Kim (SK hynix)

Biography: Kyungdo Kim received B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea, in 1998, 2000, and 2015, respectively. He joined SK Hynix Inc., Icheon, Korea, in 2000, where he was engaged in developing high density dynamic random access memory(DRAM) from 512-MB to 4-GB density until 2018. He joined SK Hynix’s CMOS image sensor (CIS) group in 2018, and he is currently the head of the CIS pixel architecture team in the CIS device group. He contributed to the development of small pixel under 0.8 ㎛ and high resolution CIS over 50 mega-pixel. His reseach include image sensor performance and the control of leakage current in dark conditions.

In 1998, 2000, and 2015, respectively, Kyungdo Kim earned a Bachelor of Science, a Master of Science, and a Doctor of Philosophy in electrical engineering from Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea. In 2000, he joined SK Hynix Inc. in Icheon, Korea, where he worked on the development of high density dynamic random access memory (DRAM) from 512 MB to 4 GB density till 2018. He joined SK Hynix's CMOS image sensor (CIS) group in 2018, and he presently serves as the leader of the CIS pixel architecture team in the CIS device group. He contributed to the creation of pixels with a diameter of less than 0.8 microns and CIS with a resolution of over 50 megapixels. His research focuses on image sensor performance and the management of leakage current in low-light environments.
