Korean minds eye nanotechnology

This paper discussed about how the National Center for Nanomaterials Technology (NCNT) started its full operation of semiconductor/display materials and equipment technology in South Korea. The government sponsored NCNT project is designed to build an infrastructure in the Pohang region. The facility will also bring large and small/medium scale companies together under one roof for collaboration in technology development, where they can perform the function of development, prototype manufacturing, and pilot production. The NCNT has also launched international joint R & D programs that will contribute to global proliferation of nanotechnology and benefit the participating institutions and nano scientists. The paper also discussed the vision and goal of NCNT to become a world leader in nanomaterials and devices core technology core technology development through extensive and global collaboration.
