Organizational chart of the Next-Generation Semiconductor Research Platform. On the left are the five research centers within NIMS (National Institute for Materials Science)—MANA, Electronic and Optical Functional Materials, Magnetic and Spintronics Materials, Structural Materials, and Materials Science—which are aligned to form a structure where they collaborate with the three major projects in the center—Next-Generation Edge AI Semiconductors, New Semiconductor Materials and Device Technologies, and Technology Development for the Beyond 2nm Generation—as a “consolidation of talent.”
