Creating social values by micromanufacturing and microanalysis using quantum beams

Our laboratory is conducting research on the manufacturing application of the narrowed-down quantum beams of ions, electrons and light. Quantum beams are essential to make tiny products of micrometer or nanometer scales. Therefore, micromanufacturing is made possible by using the phenomena that occur when quantum beams are irradiated on the surface of a substance. In our laboratory, the teachers and students are united in their daily pursuit to conduct research on making light and electronic circuits as well as machines that can play a significant role in the microworld.
