About

Overview

Focusing on spintronics, a game-changing technology for low-power integrated circuits that Japan has led, we will promote research and development of new materials and devices, as well as research and development of circuits, architectures, and integrated technologies that maximize their characteristics. In addition, we will comprehensively develop prototype verification for practical low-power semiconductor chips that accelerate the development of CMOS semiconductors, together with collaborating and cooperating instituions. In the development of innovative spintronics X semiconductor research, we have pioneered new applications such as the integration of optics, neuro, topology with electronics, as well as new applications such as medicine, space, and information security. We will contribute to the improvement of research and development capabilities related to semiconductors. We will develop human resources with practical skills and perspectives by having young researchers and students actively participate in our hub.
