Provided Services (Already available)

Design

  • Prototyping and processing using maskless exposure systems and electron beam lithography systems, in conjunction with assistance in fine pattern design.
  • Molecular-level fabrication based on our expertise in molecular science research, for example, design of organic FETs and property prediction and material exploration of organic semiconductors through quantum chemical calculations

Prototype

  •  Prototyping of organic FETs is possible. Also, FET miniaturization is achievable using maskless lithography equipment.
  •  Support for electron beam lithography enables electrode patterning on organic crystals.
  •  Support for automated and manual batch reaction experiments for user-designed organic materials is available. This includes support for material simulations using DFT calculations for reaction experiments.

Evaluation

  • Three-dimensional surface profiling and surface roughness measurements of organic thin films can be performed using a surface profilometer.
  • Operando scanning probe microscopy (SPM) measurements are supported (as collaborative research) in electrochemical cells and under electric, magnetic, or photonic fields.
  • XPS is available for analyzing surface composition and chemical/electronic states of materials.
  • The band structure of valence bands in functional materials can be directly measured using the functional material band structure microanalysis system (angle-resolved ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, ARUPS), enabling comparison with theoretical values (collaborative research).
  • Multiple X-ray structural analysis instruments are available for shared use, supporting structural analysis of thin films, powders, and single crystals.
  • Non-destructive molecular-level analysis and evaluation of materials is possible using NMR (both solid-state and solution). This is particularly effective for identifying impurities and quality control in resist materials through compositional analysis.
  • Using absolute PL quantum yield measurement systems, fluorescence spectrometers, and fluorescence lifetime instruments, one can measure the fluorescence intensity, emission efficiency, and absorption spectra of organic materials.
  • ESR instruments (for detecting defect levels, interface traps, etc.) and SQUID magnetometers (for measuring magnetic susceptibility, electrical conductivity, etc.) have traditionally played a central role in magnetic material research. In recent years, their applications have expanded to include evaluation of spin states in semiconductor materials and physical property analysis of quantum device materials. Spin state analysis is possible for spintronic materials such as magnetic memory and quantum dots.
  • In particular, SQUID is highly effective for evaluating magnetic semiconductors and two-dimensional materials.
