Osaka University Global Center of Excellence Program Center for Electronic Devices Innovation

The primary goal of CEDI is to establish an outstanding system for R&D and education in the area of next-generation electronic devices. Next-generation electronic devices for a ubiquitous society are required to be extremely small, light-weight, and have a low power consumption, but yet must have a large storage capacity and a high-processing speed. Essential requirements include a high efficiency with a low environmental impact and a high reliability for a safe, secure and dependable society. Thus, it is essential to create epoch-making materials that go beyond conventional concepts and novel process technologies that surpass the limitations of the existing semiconductor micro-fabrication.

A new research and education platform, Innovation-oriented Dynamic Education and Research (IDER) units, was built to promote cross-disciplinary/university-industry/international collaborations without organizational and disciplinary barriers. Based on our novel and various research seeds, young researchers from different laboratories have organized their IDER units to develop advanced electronic devices along the strategic goals of CEDI.
