Outline of Final Research Achievements

Inorganic element blocks which have the reactivity and the processability similar to organic materials and the stability and the semiconducting properties similar to inorganic materials were studied toward the development of new optical and electrical devices using them. The laser direct writing method was applied to the metal nanoparticles of Ag, Au and Cu and the metal oxide semiconductors such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles. New optical and electrical devices were developed via on-demand production by laser direct writing based on the printed processes of inorganic element blocks.
