Research orientation

a. Development of Resists for low LER ithography - Optimization of Resist materials and Patterning Processes
Development of resists with potential low Line Edge Roughness (LER) capable for sub-32 nm patterning. Current activities include
“molecular” resists, resist based on polymer back-bone breaking and simulation studies for supporting material and process optimization.

b. Lithographic materials for new (unconventional) micro-nano structure fabrication processes
Investigation of material issues for novel radiation-assisted patterning processes, including formation of 3D structures and patterning of biological systems.  

c. Materials for organic/molecular electronics
Materials research and device architecture studies for molecular/organic electronics. Current activities include materials for molecular memories, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), photovoltaics and new optoelectronic devices.
