日本語ページ

Introduction

Modern semiconductor technology involves the fabrication of extremely small devices while consuming large amounts of energy through processes such as vacuum operation and high-temperature treatment, and therefore cannot be regarded as a technology that can be sustained indefinitely. In the Green Nanofabrication Laboratory, within the Department of Green Electronics Engineering, we focus on “organic electronic materials” and conduct research on science and technology that will support next-generation electronics, including the development of low-environmental-impact nanofabrication methods and environmentally friendly electronic devices.

Through engagement in cutting-edge scientific research, we hope to foster in our students the “scientific way of seeing and thinking” that is essential for STEM professionals. In addition to training engineers and developers, we also place emphasis on nurturing scientists and researchers, university faculty members, school teachers, and science communicators who can convey advanced science to the general public. At the graduate level, students further deepen the knowledge and research methods acquired during their undergraduate studies, with the aim of developing highly specialized professionals. By advancing their expertise and skills required for engineers and developers, and by acquiring the knowledge and experience necessary for scientists and researchers, students are able to refine the abilities needed to succeed in their respective professional fields.

Research in the Laboratory

Our laboratory conducts research in the field of materials science, with a particular focus on organic electronic materials. Our work goes beyond simply fabricating various electronic materials; we design materials with desired properties in mind so that they exhibit the expected characteristics. For example, we design electrical properties to develop materials that will contribute to next-generation electronic devices. In another line of research, we are also working on the development of visual sensors by designing patterns of biologically derived proteins. Since these studies are carried out using advanced technologies such as nanotechnology, students can also learn about the functions and roles of state-of-the-art research equipment.
