The core development field in the Sensor Business is R&D and its application, using new conceptual nano photodiodes based on the silicon semiconductor.

Along with this aim, our research areas for nanotechnology are open-ended and include researching nano material which has quantum effect features, developing device modeling and structuring that causes quantum effect, simulation for a single electron as a device, device-developing processing, super-precision nano measurement and system interface.

With the goals of structural research and development for new conceptual and new functional quantum nano semiconductor photon/electron devices, we are concentrating on developing semiconductor single crystal thin film growth technology, low-dimensional nano structure forming technology using E-beam, nano structural quantum/photon device designing and interpretation skill, nano structural quantum/photon device with accurate measuring skill.

Examples such technologies which are the basis for futuristic devices are nano bio sensors, quantum memory, quantum integrated circuits, highly efficient LD, and LED. In this vein, we are concentrating on fulfill our R&D projects having new fusion technology based on integration of IT & BT with NT. We, as the frontrunner for interchanging & leading cutting-edge technologies, would like to discover national technological resources in nano semiconductor area, propose directions for developing national key industries, and furthermore contribute to the public¡¯s welfare as creating technology resources which have huge industrial ripple effect.
 
Nanotechnology is what allows for developing a new function or systems by controlling the materials at the micro-level of nano-meters (10 to the negative 9th power).

The length of a nano-meter level is one hundred thousandth of the thickness of one hair (100nm) and similar in size to an atom or molecule.

If atoms could be manipulated freely, we would create original functions and objects we
have never before imagined. We are expecting such possibilities from nanotechnology and it also provides the opportunities from the business aspect.

The future nano-related market could be brought by realizing functions and products development which has been considered to be practically impossible. However, we expect this market will be so huge that we cannot even forecast it now.
