The Profile of the Section

We are now developping new material fabrication techniques which can control compositions and structures of materials from micro to macro size regions more precisely, as well as relating such fabrication techniques to evaluation techniques and numerically designings.

Research Projects

Advanced study on vapor phase deposition
(Special Research) [FY1996-1999]
Optical method for characterizing thin films using surface plasmon
(Ordinary Research)[FY1996-1998]
Research and development of ultra-high-quality transparent conductive films fabrication
(Designated R&D) [FY1997-1999]
