Quantum Effect Device Research Team

To explore future nanoelectronics, we develop fabrication processes of sub-10 nm structures, and study their electroical and optical properties to apply them to functional nanodevices. We use carbon nanotubes, semiconductor (Si, Ge, InAs, et al.) nanowires, graphene and functional molecules as building blocks of those nanostructures. Besides, we are interested in the THz response of the nanodevices, and organic optical devices combined with plasmonic structures are studied. With a combination of the top-down and bottom-up technologies, we fabricate quantum dots, CNT/molecule heterostructures, and semiconductor/superconductor hybrid nanostructures for use in single electron devices, quantum computing devices, new quantum THz detectors and so on.
