New Plan

High-frequency device developing project
- high-frequency device for next generation wireless access system -

As is seen from the explosive spread of cellular phones, wireless communication is expected to become the mainstream of communication with an information terminal in the near future. In order to deal with the rapidly expanding amount of information in wireless communication, the use of radio frequencies in higher ranges than 2 GHz band becomes indispensable. Use of pseudo millimeter-waves (10-30GHz) or millimeter-waves (30-300GHz) which have higher frequencies enables wireless two-way communications carrying a large amount of information at a high speed between a basic station and an office, a home or a mobile phone even when it is moving.

The high frequency device technology is one of the basic technologies for an IT network, and it is necessary also from the viewpoint of economic security to nationally tackle development of the high frequency device technology. In the United States, research fund is intensively spent by the Office of Naval Research, and in the European Union, multilateral large-scale projects are being carried out. Our association planned and is carrying out innovative projects to develop a material processing technology for a semiconductor using nitride as a new semiconductor material having excellent high frequency characteristics: a technology using the processing technology for designing and preparing a high frequency device, and a technology for determining device characteristics.
