Materials Innovation Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A materials lab that grows crystals that generate ultraviolet light, as well as GaN crystals.
AboutAbout the lab
Aiming to contribute to society through research and development of functional materials.
The Materials Innovation Lab aims to create materials innovation that will be key to solving future challenges in environmental issues, the advanced information society, and the aging society.
The lab conducts education and research in particular on optical crystals essential for AI manufacturing, nitride semiconductor crystals essential for 5G and power devices, and biological compound crystals that help prevent disease.
The lab puts into practice everything from basic research to commercialization through industry-academia collaboration and venture creation.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Mori Lab."
Key terms
- Wavelength conversion crystal
- A crystal that converts laser light into light of a different wavelength; used to produce ultraviolet laser light
- Nitride semiconductor crystal
- A semiconductor crystal made of a compound containing nitrogen. GaN (gallium nitride) is one example
- Semiconductor miniaturization
- Technology for making semiconductor circuits finer. Regarded as a technology that supports the development of artificial intelligence
