The society is now facing new challenges. In the 21st century, the earth is in danger to be damaged by our continuous efforts to make our lives more comfortable without considering possible negative effects.

The department of semiconductor electronics and integration science leads the mainstream silicon technology towards a sustainable development which conserves the limited resources on the earth. To achieve our aim, we apply a synergetic approach of utilizing newly emerging materials in combination with the sophisticated silicon technology. Through the fusion of biological and organic materials with intelligent systems based on advanced silicon technology, we create and sustain the wealth of our society.
