Presentation Title The integration of smart manufacturing technologies to advance nanotechnology
Biography Nanotechnology, which leverages physical properties and materials at the nanoscale, is becoming a key foundational technology in driving innovation across materials, components, and equipment. Meanwhile, emerging technologies like AI, IoT, and robotics—when integrated into smart factories—are transforming manufacturing through flexible production, enhanced quality, and automation. To enable the broader adoption of nanotechnology in manufacturing, it is essential to create synergy with existing smart factory systems. LG Electronics’ Production engineering Research Institute (PRI) holds core competencies in areas such as smart factory technology, production element technology, key processing equipment technologies, production system optimization, and exterior and mold design. In this presentation, we will share representative cases that showcase how smart factory solutions are being applied in the field of nanotechnology. Looking ahead, we aim to revisit the potential of nanotechnology and propose a forward-looking vision by combining it with smart manufacturing technologies to support its broader implementation. Achieving this goal requires not only the efforts of companies but also active support from the government. Through strong collaboration between industry and government, we hope to present a shared blueprint for future innovation in advanced manufacturing.

Presentation Title Electron Microscopy Enables the Design of Materials for Tomorrow
Biography The properties of materials and devices are governed by their atomic structure. The knowledge about the relationships between the atomic structure and properties as well as how to control the atomic structure during material synthesis and device structuring allows us to design new materials for devices with tailored performances.
Catalytic activity, electrical and optical properties are examples where strain induced effects have a strong influence on the properties and performances. Electric fields can change the surface structure of materials and the thermal handling capabilities can be changed by the presence of a one atomic layer thin surface film.
New aspects of material properties and mechanisms, not obvious from measurements on the macro scale, can be revealed using high resolution and in situ electron microscopy. A precise control of the properties requires information about the role of each individual atom. This is highly demanding but it also allows us to use the minimum amount of material when making multifunctional devices with complex structures. In situ electron microscopy enables the correlation between site-specific atomic structure to properties with a spatial precision down to the atomic level. Developments of capabilities to manipulate and stimulate by electric fields, light, mechanical strain and temperature in the electron microscope allow quantitative studies of how the atomic structure determines the properties and mechanisms. The strongest advantage of electron microscopy is incomparably superior spatial resolution, better than 1 Å, and thus the analytical precision in determining the position of atoms can be better than 1 pm. Furthermore, electron tomography can be used to determine the 3-dimensional structure of the materials on an atomic scale. This various atomistic knowledge using electron microscopy is used to tune the properties of advanced materials and devices.
