ISC Laboratory Head Leads FF-Funded Perovskite Project on Knowledge-Exchange Visit to Taiwan

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nopporn Rujisamphan, Head of the Interface and Surface Characterization (ISC) Laboratory, has launched the activities of the project “Development of Perovskite Semiconductor Materials Technology and Fundamental Learning to Enhance Research Capabilities and Advanced Devices,” supported by the 2027 (B.E. 2570) FF Research Grant. As project leader, he began with consultations and visits to leading research organizations and industry partners in Taiwan.

The visit focused on exchanging knowledge in perovskite solar cells and advanced semiconductors, preparing the workforce, and identifying pathways to bring research into real-world use. It covered four organizations:

• Syskey Technology Co., Ltd.: Exchanged knowledge on thin-film deposition by atomic layer deposition (ALD), vacuum systems, and automated manufacturing to guide prototype process development.
• Taiwan Semiconductor Research Institute (TSRI): Studied cleanroom management, shared use of research facilities, and semiconductor workforce development.
• Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI): Exchanged approaches to developing power devices and laboratory-scale silicon carbide (SiC), and to linking advanced materials research with industry.
• Ming Chi University of Technology (MCUT): Discussed research collaboration on vacuum-evaporated perovskite solar cells, production scale-up, and opportunities for researcher and student exchange.

The knowledge gained from the visit will provide a foundation for developing the workforce and advancing the project’s research toward real-world applications.
