Hokkaido Innovation through NanoTechnology Support (HINTS)

Hokkaido Innovation through NanoTechnology Support (HINTS) is a nanotechnology support project located at Hokkaido University. At this university are:  Research Institute for Electronic Science, Catalysis Research Center, Center for Advanced Research of Energy Conversion Materials, and Research Center for Integrated Quantum Electronics. HINTS also cooperate with Chitose Institute of Science and Technology. Their research and development of nano-devices and materials is based on photonic crystal, plasmonics, and spintronics is conducted on a variety of nano-processing equipment, such as high precision electron beam lithography systems, in addition to standard nano-measurement and analysis equipment such as scanning and transmission electron microscopes.They are proud of their students who combine their knowledge and experinece with precise research.
