OVERVIEW

The continued march of miniaturization in electronics provides a constant challenge for designing future technologies. For several decades, it has been realized that quantum mechanics plays a significant part in the operation of commercial semiconductor devices. The Hitachi Cambridge Laboratory was established to create new device concepts based on quantum mechanical principles, and conducts this research in collaboration with Hitachi's worldwide network of research laboratories. Such nanoelectronic devices are expected to be the basic building blocks of future microprocessors, memory chips and HDDs.
