The ubiquitous information technology which realizes seamless communications is essential for bringing about the revitalization of our country in which the aged society will certainly dominate in the near future. RCAST has established a new research center, Nanoelectronics Collaboration Research Center (NCRC), was established for the purpose of realizing core technologies for the development of the ubiquitous information devices based on nanotechnologies. The NCRC is jointly operated by Institute of Industrial Science (IIS). The NCRC aims at becoming one of the Center of Excellence (COE) in the world of advanced nano-photonics and electronics. The NCRC investigates nanophotonic and electron devices in close collaboration with various industrial leaders, domestic universities, and overseas universities which are actively conducting research in this field. The NCRC will develop a collaborative research network between universities and industries, as well as training young persons of exceptional ability who can take a strong leadership role in the nanoelectronics field. |
