Associate Professor / AIDA Hideo
Assoc. Prof. Aida is always there for us students, consulting with them on their research as well as their personal problems. When we get stuck in our research, he always offers a solution so we can pursue what we want to do with confidence.
Research Content
In our laboratory, we are conducting research on crystal substrates for semiconductors. Currently, Si (Silicon) crystals are used for mainstream semiconductors. The performance of semiconductors is determined by the substrate material. SiC (Silicon Carbide) and GaN (Gallium Nitride), which are called next-generation single crystals, have better semiconductor performance than Si, but the substrate processing technology is still in its infancy. Therefore, our laboratory focuses on substrate processing technology and aims to contribute to the practical application of next-generation single crystals.
These researches are conducted by students who independently plan and conduct experiments. Students can be involved in joint research themes with many major companies. The latest equipment is being introduced one after another in our research facilities.

A Day in the Lab
In our laboratory, you will be provided with the necessary equipment for your experiments if you suggest it, so you can take on many challenges. The free-address student rooms are always neat and tidy. The professors pay a lot of attention to the environment of the students' living rooms. They listen to the students' opinions and make the facilities to make their laboratory life comfortable. Recently, various seating arrangements have been made, including sofas, counter tables, and dining tables, so that students can compile research materials, have lunch, and hold meetings in a comfortable environment. Therefore, although there are no core hours, it is a laboratory where you will always want to come every day !
