The highest-level research environment of circuit design, device manufacturing and probing for new semiconductor devices and systems

Semiconductors have become increasingly important in recent years in areas such as automated driving and generative AI. We envision what the semiconductor industry should be in the future, and conduct research and development of the necessary technology and training of high-level human resources to realize this vision. This is the Hiroshima University Research Institute for Semiconductor Engineering.

Main Research Activities

RCBE
Research Center for Biomedical Engineering

The center conducts joint research on biomaterials, medical devices, and systems by integrating the institutional functions of Tokyo Medical and Dental University, the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Hiroshima University, and Shizuoka University.

ARIM
Advanced Research Infrastructure for Materials and Nanotechnology

The program, part of MEXT's Material DX Platform, offers shared facilities and equipment from 25 universities. Hiroshima University focuses on research support for SiC, GaN semiconductors, and solar cells.

XNICS
Initiative to Establish Next-generation Novel Integrated Circuits Centers (X-NICS)

As part of MEXT's X-NICS initiative, the institute collaborates with Tokyo Institute of Technology and Toyohashi University of Technology to develop a green semiconductor industry and lower its environmental impact.
