Hitachi High-Tech Corp., together with National Taiwan University, has established the Advanced Application Innovation Center for Focused Ion Beam System in Taiwan University.

Mainly, the center will research and develop semiconductors, green materials and other advanced materials. Moreover, it will function as a facility where a wide range of users, particularly those affiliated with Taiwan University, can make use of Hitachi High-Tech’s FIB^*1-SEM^*2 technology.

To Provide Support System

Specifically, Hitachi High-Tech will help the center to run smoothly by establishing a support system for equipment maintenance and management. Additionally, it will provide various application-related support. It also aims for the center to be used to disseminate technical information through FIB-SEM.

By operating the center jointly with Taiwan University, it will contribute to the development of science and technology in Taiwan. Also, it will contribute to the prosperity of Taiwan’s economy; specifically, through the strengthening of industry-academia collaboration, improved technological innovation capabilities, and by providing a platform for future human resource development in the field of science and technology.

Hitachi High-Tech Group will continue to refine its core beam and analysis technologies. Also, it will provide dedicated measurement and inspection solutions that support R&D and quality control operations in a wide range of fields. Collectively, it aims to help improve people’s QoL (Quality of Life). Also, it will resolve social issues related to the environment, resilience, and safety and security.
