Semiconductor Materials Laboratory
Utilizing the strange phenomena in the nano world for material development
As semiconductor devices are increasingly functionalized and miniaturized, the film materials used in them have reached the thickness of several nanometers. In this tiny world, we witness strange physical phenomena unthinkable in the ordinary world, such as particles piercing through walls. Our laboratory conducts research with the aim to use the phenomenon known as “quantum effects” to develop new functional materials.
This lab is for this SDG activity:
STUDY FIELDS
- Materials Science and Engineering
- Applied Physics
FOR SOCIETY
The semiconductor materials we are studying have been applied for information technology-related devices such as memories, solar cells and other energy-related devices. Besides, we conduct research on a wide range of materials based on solid state physics.
RESEARCH THEMES
- Development of a new non-volatile memory
- Research on the basic properties of membranes
- Conducting research on the crystal growth mechanism of membranes
