※ Affiliations and titles are as of the end of the research activity.
Creation of new functional materials by means of technology for controlling spaces and gaps in advanced materials in order to realize selective material storage, transport, chemical separation, and conversion, etc.
This research area aims to implement research and development to drastically improve the energy efficiency of information processing, enable the production of new functions, and present paths to truly commercialize the outcomes of such research and development and lead them to innovations by coordinating and integrating researches on materials, electronic devices, and system optimization.
Production of innovative basic technologies is necessary for achieving drastically better energy efficiency of information processing and providing new functions which are the goals of this research area rather than solely relying on the advancement of microfabrication. Such technologies are essential for improving performances and enhancing the Internet and information devices and useful for producing new applications and services, which are more closely related to the physical world by heavily using sensors and actuators.
The following nano-electronics materials and devices are considered specific research fields: devices made from new functional materials,new semiconductors and new insulators, such as carbons, composite materials, and single monoatomic layer materials; quantum effect devices; low-leakage devices; new structural logic devices; new memory devices; devices for power management; new electronic devices for physical world interfaces; and non-Boolean Algebra processing devices. Yet, this research area pursues new functional materials and devices based on new materials, new principles, and new structures rather than being limited to materials and devices listed above. Meanwhile, applications, systems, architectures, and circuits technologies must be coordinated or integrated based on synergy to lead them to true innovations. Thus, this research area actively promotes the optimization of selection and directions of materialtechnologies and device technologies by aiming for practical applications. This research area aims to produce fundamental technologies for innovative information devices through reinforcement and acceleration of such interdisciplinary scientific technologies.
