In this proposal, TNSC aims to contribute to a decarbonized society by developing a MOCVD equipment that can stably supply GaN/Si epi substrates with high electrical energy conversion efficiency. Through collaboration with Nagoya Institute of Technology, TNSC will develop elemental technologies to reduce surface defect densities and technology for crystal growth with excellent mass productivity. In addition, TNSC will introduce new analysis and prediction technologies based on machine learning, aiming to complete one of the world’s largest next-generation mass-produced MOCVD equipment with improved energy savings. Through this development, TNSC will contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society and the revitalization of domestic industries.
