Objective of RCIQE
|
|
|
Recent rapid advances of technology
are heading toward the so-called ubiquitous network society, as manifested,
in explosive growth of mobile telephones, internet, electronic mails and
various LANs. These trends toward larger volume and higher throughput of
information processing as well as toward more extended and sophisticated
use of "wireless" and "optoelectronic" technologies
will grow further in future at increased speeds where entirely new electronics
is needed. Recent rapid growth of "nanotechnology" covering a
wide area of chemistry, biology and MEMS also requires novel electronics
in nano-scale.
The mission of the new RCIQE is to establish a novel science and technologies
for integrated quantum nanoelectronics based on high density integration
of quantum nanodevices, emphasizing III-V compound semiconductors including
nitrides. The operation principles of the devices are entirely new, being
based directly on the quantum mechanics in which elementary quantum mechanical
motions and processes of a single or a few electrons are controlled by
arrays of artificial quantum nanostructures. |
