2025Inamori Research GrantsScience & Engineering
I am honored to receive this research grant for exploring interface control technology between low-dimensional materials and gate insulators to enhance the performance of next-generation semiconductor devices. By tackling interface challenges that have been difficult to overcome with conventional technologies through an innovative approach, I am committed to contributing to the progress of semiconductor technology.
Toward interface control between low-dimensional materials and insulating films, this study aimed to form metal atomic layers on low-dimensional materials using underpotential deposition. Potential sweeps were applied to HOPG substrates in an organic electrolyte containing YCl₃, and surface reactions were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry, Raman spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The results suggested the formation of Y-containing deposits on HOPG surfaces and clarified future issues, including nonuniform deposition morphology, Cl incorporation, and possible defect formation.
