FED Meeting
Symposium
FED2001(The Symposium on Future Electron Devices 2001 )
November 5-6, 2001, Keidanren Kaikan, Tokyo, Japan
The FED2001 clarified the significance of basic technology in promoting
industrial technologies following the successful FED2000, which focused
on the significance of R&D of IT basic technology.
[First day]
In the opening session,Yamamoto(FED Chairman) gave a speech on his
vision of IT basic technology.Director Ikegami of AIST spoke on cooperation
among academia, industry, and government as a strategy for promoting industrial
technology. In the plenary session, Professor Arakawa of the Univ. of
Tokyo presented the significance of nanotechnology. Professor Sakamura
at The Univ. of Tokyo also spoke on the wonder of a ubiquitous society
where computers are furnished everywhere and in everything. In the panel
discussion, President Ikoma of TI,Japan was elected as coordinator. The
session focused on R&D programs as a national strategy, and on R&D programs
to be implemented shortly by the Japanese government, corporations, and
universities.
[Second day]
This association reported on R&D activities of IT basic technologies,
an overview of the ongoing two subjects, and a general report on FED Salon
activities. Following these reports, Mr. Arai of AIST reported on the
progress of the Ultra-Low Loss Power Element Project. Mr. Dietrich Stepani,
CEO of SiCED, gave a speech on possible application of an ultra-low loss
power element. Professor Nanishi at Ritsumeikan Univ. reported on his
study of nitriding semiconductor high-frequency devices, which researched
and studied by this association. The devices are regarded as the next
generation devices. Mr. Ando of AIST spoke on magnetic memory devices.
Assistant Professor Hiramoto at The Univ. of Tokyo gave a speech on the
significance of 10-nm ULSI Si devices. Professor Ishihara at Tokyo Inst.
Tech. reported on the progress of the Ferroelectric Semiconductor Memory
Project, followed by Mr. Masui of Fujitsu, who spoke on possible applications
