Research Synopsis:
Current research focus is the fabrication of nanoscale electronic/optical/
magnetic devices and sensors in a scale of sub-nanometers to hundreds of nanometers. This includes

  • the development of wafer-scale methods to place individual nanoscale building blocks (such as nanoparticles, nanowires, carbon nanotubes, DNAs, proteins, etc) on exact substrate locations
  • the study and fabrication of single electron devices in a wafer-scale within a framework of CMOS fabrication technology
  • the development of ultra-sensitive biological/chemical sensors that can detect single molecules (DNAs, proteins, etc) on portable chips.
