Research Areas

Ultrahigh precision fabrication team will develop the advanced ultrahigh precision / micro fabrication technologies and their applications to scientific apparatus and devices to support advanced scientific research at RIKEN. Research and development plan of this team include following four topics: (1)Development of ultrahigh precision optics including design, fabrication, metrology and computational simulation (2)Development of ultrahigh precision / micro fabrication technologies (3)Development of fabrication technology of soft materials using the electrospray deposition method (4)Development of materials and devices for biology or biochemistry such as microfluidic immunoassay device.
In all R&D topics, the team will collaborate with laboratories inside and outside RIKEN and assist them to construct most advanced experimental apparatuses, which will lead to innovative scientific research results.

Research Subject

  1. Design, fabrication, metrology and simulation of ultra high precision optics
  2. Micro fabrication technology using MEMS technology and ultra high precision cutting
