An Interuniversity Research, Development, and Training Center in Nano: National Nano Device Laboratories, Taiwan, Republic of China

Taiwan has been one of the centers of chip manufacturing, known as Silicon Island. In order to keep technical advances, it demands a mechanism to strengthen research and development of new technologies as well as train more high-tech personnel. The National Nano Device Laboratories (NDL) has been playing an important role to fulfill aforementioned objectives in Taiwan since 1992. To establish the competence in the mainstream of globalization, internationalization of NDL is a must for the development of this silicon island. Therefore, the purpose of this presentation is to introduce NDL as well as promote the information exchange and stimulate the interactions between the author and the participating scientists for potential research collaborations.
