High-bandwidth memory (HBM) pioneer Professor Kim Joung-ho, from Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST), is set to receive the Science and Technology Innovation Award for his contributions to Korea's semiconductor industry. The Daejeon Development Committee will present the award to Kim at the Lotte City Hotel Daejeon on Thursday at 11 a.m. The professor, who has dedicated three decades to researching next-generation memory technologies, is credited with helping establish the foundations for HBM.
In 2009, Kim proposed the core concepts and basic architecture of HBM and actively participated in its key design and technology validation work. His efforts played a crucial role in SK hynix's commercialization of the technology in December 2013.
