When I was a child, electric devices such as personal computers, cellular phones and music players have achieved a dramatic development. When a new item was released, I was always surprised by such an innovative development and was interested in its operating principle. Finally, I wanted to be a scientist who could create such a wonderful electric device. Actually, semiconductor technologies are well established and even now, I am still impressed when I find new semiconductor technologies. Over the past twenty years, the performance of electric devices has been improved by reducing the size of device components such as transistors. However, such an approach is now failing as a result of inherent physical limitations, unfortunately. Now I am attempting to resolve this issue by using electron spin which provides novel information in the semiconductor devices.
