Outline

Electromagnetic waves of terahertz frequency possess properties of both radio wave and light. Implementation of video-imaging device which can produce images of terahertz waves will provide new information of matters and create innovative services in a variety of field such as security, disaster relief, medical operation, drug development, etc. For example, you will be able to find people even in clouds of smoke owing to its function. In this research project, terahertz video-imaging device is created by heterogeneous co-design and integration of nanometer sized transistor made of newly developed high-electron-mobility semiconductor and LSI composed of extremely low-noise circuit by using advanced room-temperature micro-interconnect technology.
