Realizing next-generation mobility
In addition to power saving, low latency, improved bandwidth, large capacity, and environmental resistance (stable operation at high temperatures, etc.) are essential for semiconductors to be installed in next-generation mobility with an eye toward autonomous driving and EVs. The creation of new semiconductor technology is desired to achieve semiconductor performance for next-generation mobility. Therefore, there are great expectations for spintronic power-saving semiconductors, which have excellent low power consumption and environmental resistance.
Energy-efficient AI computing, data centers, etc.
With the future development of ICT and AI, it will be necessary to calculate even larger amounts of data at even higher speeds, and the increase in power consumption at data centers, including edge AI computing and large-scale AI processing, is becoming a global issue. High expectations are placed on high-capacity spintronic power-saving semiconductors for low power consumption suitable for AI processing, for the realization of innovatively power-efficient edge AI devices and data centers, and for the realization of carbon neutrality.
Next-generation communication infrastructure and advanced information services utilizing space and the stratosphere
Spintronics Based low-power semiconductors memorize “0” and “1” based on the direction of the magnet (spin), so they have excellent stable operation in space and the stratosphere, where high-energy particles such as solar flares are flying around. has. In addition, space and the stratosphere are environments where energy supply is severely limited. There are great expectations for spintronic power-saving semiconductors, which have low power consumption and excellent resistance to high-energy particles, in order to realize space and stratospheric industries such as HAPS(High Altitude Platform Station) and LEO(Low Earth Orbit), where demand will increase in the future.
