1. 1st Autumn Event in Statistical Mechanics-2 (課號:5083) Invited TALKopen to everyone Nanotechnology Research and Innovation at Albany NanoTech Complex- On Worldwide Collaboration for Research and Fabrication - Prof. Makoto Hirayama, PhD Vice President, State University of New York at Albany mhrayama@albany.edu The Albany Nanotech Complex of State University of New York, College Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE), is located in Albany, New York. The UAlbany CNSE is the first college in the world dedicated to education, research, development and deployment in the emerging disciplines of Nanoscience, Nanoengineering, Nanobioscience and Nanoeconomics. With more than $14 billion in high-tech investments, CNSE represents the world’s most advanced university-driven research enterprise, offering students a one-of-a-kind academic experience and providing over 300 corporate partners with access to an unmatched ecosystem for leading-edge R&D and commercialization of Nano electronics and nanotechnology innovations. CNSE’s footprint spans upstate New York. More than 2,700 scientists, researchers, engineers, students and faculties work here, from companies including IBM, Intel, Global Foundries, SEMATECH, Samsung, TSMC. An expansion now underway, part of which will house the world’s first Global 450mm Consortium, will add nearly 500,000 square feet of next-generation infrastructure, an additional 50,000 square feet of Class 1 capable cleanrooms, and more than 1,000 scientists, researchers and engineers from CNSE and global corporations. The most advanced lithography is suitable for a 22 nm technology node by Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUV) tool and 195 nm immersion tools. CNSE co-led and manages operations INDEX programs under Nanoelctronics Research Initiative supported by SRC. Ten US Universities collaborate to research emerging technologies in nanotechnology. Five Universities and Institutes from Japan, India and Russia also started to exchange programs for graduate students and faculties Makoto Hirayama holds PhD in Electric and Electronics Engineering from Sophia University in Japan and is a professor of College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE), State University of New York (SUNY) at Albany. He also serves as Vice President and Director of Asian and Pacific Rim Strategic Alliances. His research interest covers nano-electronic devices and fabrication process technologies. He was with Mitsubishi Electric R&D for VLSI Laboratory, followed by Applied Materials Japan as General Manager of Metal Deposition Product Business Group and Tokyo Electron Ltd (TEL) as Senior Vice President of TEL Technology Center, America at Albany in New York. Since 2008 he has been with College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering, SUNY at Albany. He is working to create new collaborative relationships between excellent Nanotechnology field of Institutes, Universities and Companies in Asian and Pacific Rim area. He is a member of Japan Society of Applied Physics and The Electrochemical Society.
