Common Research Facilities

Nanotechnology was made possible by ultra-precision measurement and fabrication. For any nanotechnology research program, it is essential to have ready access to superior and often very expensive research facilities. Besides making heavy investments to acquire state-of the-art instrumentations and making them the hub for ITRI’s nanotechnology research, NTRC has also undertaken to connect ITRI’s ten existing facility centers, including IC fabrication, optoelectronic, materials and chemicals laboratories, etc. in a networked manner to serve not only ITRI but also outside partners. Collaboration is a major purpose of the common facility center. We regard it as an “open laboratory” to be shared with our partners from both academia and industry, domestic and abroad.
