Our research focuses upon creation of nanostructured surfaces, thin films and materials with novel electronic/magnetic functions, as well as experimental and theoretical analysis on their fabrication processes, and their application to advanced devices/systems. We are mainly using electrochemical processes such as electrolytic and electroless deposition, electrochemical etching, and self-organized organic monolayers, to develop new processes. We also use electron beam lithography and nano imprinting, etc., to form ordered micro/nano patterns. The target application are ultra-high-density data storage device, Si solar cell, microscale thermoelectric device, highly-sensitive X-ray imaging sensor, etc.
