Visit 1: Tokyo University - Takao Someya Group
The Takao Someya Group tour provides an overview of the lab, its
research projects and its people with a walk-through of its facility.
Our research mission is to realize flexible, large-are electronics based on organic thin-film transistors prepared on plastic films. In particular, we build up a new class of applications of organic transistors, which includes flexible, large-area sensor arrays and plastic MEMS-type actuators.
For the above objectives, we intensively study organic transistors to understand their fundamental device physics, namely to answer the questions how grain boundary affects transport properties of polycrystalline organic thin film, what is the fundamental limit of mobility of organic transistors, how flexible organic transistors is, what limits the off current of organic transistors and more.
Furthermore, our group also has lots of research activities related to low-cost manufacturing process of organic transistors, where printing, micro-plating, and micro-lamination play important roles. Reduction of device dimensions is one of our central concerns and our group makes an effort to develop ultra-fine micro- and nano-printing approaches to realize lower power consumption and higher frequency device performance.
About Takao Someya Group
Takao Someya Group is a new research laboratory, which started from May 1st 2003 when Associate Prof. Someya moved from Komaba Research Campus to the main campus of the University of Tokyo. Our group affiliates with Department of Applied Physics and Quantum Phase electronics Center,
School of Engineering, the University of Tokyo. Our research activities
focus on organic thin-film transistors and their application to flexible,
large-area electronics. In particular, we are intensively studying area
sensors based on organic transistors, which include electronic artificial
skins.
