Pursuit of Perfection

ITRC's tenacious endeavor to assure the best quality and performance of R&D can be seen from its introduction of the worldly-renowned ISO standards. In recent years, ITRC has attained the certifications of ISO 17025, ISO 9001, and ISO 27001, and there are five laboratories that accomplished accreditation and can provide services of calibration and measuring.

Connecting to the World

For research dissemination and advocacy of instrument technology, ITRC weighs technical services no less than the development of research. Cooperation agreements of various kinds, technical consulting services, technical publications and lectures, international research exchange program, and the annual international scientific instrument technology workshop are the various channels how we approach and react to the real needs of the field, and how we voice our capabilities to the world.

A Glorious Page


Since the establishment in 1974, ITRC has compiled a versatile portfolio within the realm of instrument technology. From the rooting of vacuum technology and optical fabrication in Taiwan, extending to the present development as listed below: a length-measuring instrument which helps calibration of gauge block; an optical remote sensing system which helps the detection of vegetation and land change as well as the monitoring to precision agriculture and natural disasters; various micro biomedical chips which help symptom diagnosis and the system of pointof-care; and an automatic optical inspection system which helps rapid inspection of back light unit, ITRC has proved its in-depth capability in R&D and its flexibility in reacting to public needs.


ITRC has built cooperation agreements with and has provided technical services to the industry and academia. Through foregoing projects such as the design and building of optical systems for free-space optical communication experiments; the manufacture of cryogenic components for low temperature physics researches; the development of thin film coating systems for frontier materials research; and the exploitation of an inspection module for die defect detection, ITRC has built close connections with companies and universities and has successfully accomplished a number of technology transfers.

The Ambitious Prospect


Given that instrument technology is an inter-disciplinary body, ITRC has differentiated each of its four core research domains, optics, vacuum, system integration, and nanotechnology into two ends: the research teams and the technical shops. The former concentrates on exploring and realizing innovative ideas while the latter focuses on upgrading the core capabilities and providing technical supports as coordination. By this differentiation, each of the research teams and technical shops is entitled to a clearer direction of future development, and its corresponding mission becomes more distinguishing and precise.
