【Background & Object of Research】
Semiconductor electronics ought to stand as one of the pillars sustaining the high-level information society of the 21st Century. With the rapid advancement of information technology, semiconductor technology characterized by higher speeds and larger amounts of memory will be indispensable. For this development, huge amounts of research funding and proficient human resource are required, but overall, international cooperation will be a must as a way to solve the various problems emerging there from. The goal of this program is to contribute to the progress in research development and education on advanced semiconductor electronics, and extend the cooperation framework between the two countries to broader areas. Furthermore, with the active transfer of technology involving the exchange of top class scientist and engineers, we attempt to lay the foundations for new industrial technologies, as well as the academic formation of new professionals in the field.
【Research Subject】
In this core university program, many institutions in both countries will participate mainly in the research and development of next generation semiconductor materials and related technologies to produce them. In particular, devices and processing technologies for hard electronics are most important and have been developed intensively in Project (A) under the leadership of both core universities. Furthermore, in order to extend the research cooperation to solve foreseeable future problems, we selected 4 themes in Project (B) of ‘’’ Study on Science and Technology for Semiconductor Device, Equipment and Materials’’, in the following;
1) Research and development for future semiconductor materials
2) Research and development of design and process for future semiconductors
3) Research and development of equipment’s design and thin film process for
next generation semiconductor devices
4) Research and development of key technology for the solution of ecological problems in semiconductor industry
