Many countries have been made vast investigation in nanotechnology to occupy unchallenged position. Through nanotechnology, we can insure core technology of advanced materials and next generation industry fields which are going to be the basis of economy development. The research goal of the Center for NanoInterface and technology (CNIT) is to ensure control and fabrication method of nano materials interface, also, to make sure technology source of next generation about property improvement of present materials and development of new materials which based on nano materials.

CAMMP is conducting three projects related to MLCC manufacturing techniques which arerequired for making Ultra high capacitance MLCCs

- Synthesizingtechnique (1st project, Prof. Do-Kyung Kim),
- Sintering technique (2nd project, Prof. Suk-Joong L. Kang),
- Electrodeposition technique (3rd project, Prof. Hyuk-Sang Kwon)

In the 1st project, it is required to synthesize BaTiO3 nanopowders for MLCCs to reduce device size. In the 2nd project, with the observation of sintering behavior of dielectric BaTiO3 powders, the suitable processfor cofiring with inner electrode material is being developedafter fiding the most suitable sintering conditions. In the 3rd project, the proper conditions of electrodeposition to reduce thickness deviation of electrodeposit and improve solderability of electrodeposited Ni/Sn films are being established. If all projects are completed successfully, it will be a powerful tool inselecting the best processing technique to manufacture ultra high capacitance MLCCs at the industry level.

The demand of environmentally clean renewable energy and secure supply of energy are very strong all over the world. The photovoltaic market has been growing more than 35%/year. Korean science and technology in solar cell research will be supported by CIPM.
This “Center for Inorganic Photovoltaic Materials” will pursue high efficiencies in inorganic thin film solar cells such as a-Si, CIGS, and CdTe. An a-Si/μc-Si tandem cell is our standard vehicle and the efficiency of the cell will be increased from 12% to above 14%. In addition, triple cell, Si quantum dot/c-Si heterojunction cell, quantum dot tandem cell will be studied to achieve the ultimate efficiency of 25%.
If we achieve that works, enhancement of technology transfer and contribution to the creation of new PV manufacturing industry can be expected.
