Diamond Science and Technology: From Kanazawa to the World
Kanazawa University launched its diamond semiconductor research in 2009. Since the breakthrough development of the world’s first inversion-mode diamond MOSFET in 2016, we have continued to accelerate our cutting-edge research in this field.
Established in October 2025, our Center aims to maximize these unique seeds of innovation. With diamond—the ultimate semiconductor material—at our core, we are expanding our research into space applications, quantum technology, and interdisciplinary fusion. Our mission is to establish a world-class research hub that leads the global advancement of diamond science and technology toward practical social implementation.
We are committed to deepening diamond science and technology and ensuring its widespread adoption to drive innovations that solve the complex challenges facing our society today.
