Design and fabrication technology in micro and nano scales provide essential basis for solving demanding social issues such as supporting an aging community, creating high-value-added industries, and reducing CO₂ emission. The research in the Centre aims at revolutionary break-through in device function, manufacturing process and evaluation methods based on "true nano" phenomena associated with atomic/molecular behaviors and mesoscopic size effects.

The Centre also serves as an international hub to promote applications of micro and nano technologies to information communication and networks, IoT (Internet of Things), energy and medicine.
