The Yoshinori Matsumoto Laboratory conducts research on integrated microsystems.
An integrated microsystem is a system that integrates sensing components, corresponding to the five human senses, and silicon integrated circuits, corresponding to the nerves and brain, onto a chip a few square centimeters in size.
Creating sensors requires lithography technology for microfabrication with micron-level precision. The laboratory is equipped with mask production and exposure systems, providing an environment where students can promptly implement and evaluate their own ideas.
For integrated circuits, we design submicron CMOS integrated circuits, which are prototyped at an external foundry and then evaluated.
