Nanomaterial Electronics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A nanoelectronics lab that builds sensors and semiconductor devices from carbon materials.
AboutAbout the lab
From carbon materials to next-generation electronic devices
The Nanomaterial Electronics Lab studies electronic devices, focusing on carbon materials as a leading candidate for a new semiconductor material to replace silicon.
Carbon is a material with diverse properties, ranging from wide-bandgap semiconductors such as diamond to high-mobility zero-bandgap semiconductors such as graphene.
Its research rests on two pillars: developing gas sensors using carbon nanotubes and two-dimensional materials, and growing diamond crystals and applying them to devices.
Its goal is to realize “carbon electronics,” a foundation for next-generation electronic devices.
Key terms
- Wide-bandgap semiconductor
- A semiconductor with a large band gap (the energy difference needed for electrons to become mobile). Diamond is an example
- Carbon nanotube
- A material in which carbon atoms are joined in a tube shape. With an atomic-level structure and a large specific surface area, it attracts attention as a sensor material
- Threading dislocation
- A type of defect that forms inside crystals. It arises at high density from the interface between dissimilar materials and degrades device characteristics
ResearchResearch themes
As situations that silicon's physical properties alone struggle to handle become more common, this lab aims to develop next-generation electronic devices using carbon materials. It conducts research across different scales, from nanoscale devices using carbon nanotubes and two-dimensional materials to diamond crystal growth and device response.
*Illustrative imageGas sensors using low-dimensional materials
The lab improves sensor performance by combining low-dimensional materials with other materials or light, and uses machine learning to make gas species identification more sophisticated. Its molybdenum disulfide sensor responds quickly at room temperature under visible light, and the lab is working on integrating it with micro LEDs.
*Illustrative imageLarge-area diamond substrates and devices
The lab investigates methods for synthesizing large-area heteroepitaxial diamond substrates, working to enlarge the crystals and to improve crystal quality by reducing threading dislocations. Aiming to establish impurity doping technology, it works on applications such as power devices and radiation sensors.
