Nanoelectronics Collaborative Research Center
Objective of the NCRC
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.
Execution of the Two Big National Projects
The NCRC has been organization selected to execute an important national project, "Nano-Photonic and Electron Devices Technology", which is one of the MEXT Focused Research and Development Projects. This project was started in 2002 as a five year project with the aim of which developing innovative technologies for nano-photonic and electron devices with semiconductor nanotechnologies including quantum dots and photonic crystals. This project is jointly run with a METI national project, "Development of Photonic Network Devices", of which the core research lab is located on also Komaba Research Campus.
