Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have developed 3D-nano integrated circuits with new materials such as carbon nanotube and metal oxides. Especially, we made pioneering research on nano-scale non-volatile memory circuits with low programming current, high endurance and high speed switching. Moreover, we have developed memory control circuits as well as the 3D-voltage generator circuits. The research results are published in the top-ranked journals such as IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits.
