The Plasma Sources and Applications Centre (PSAC) was established in 2001 through co-funding from the AcRF and A*STAR. Since then the Centre is continuously growing and aims the following main research directions:

• Development of High Density Plasma Reactors and Process Control Diagnostics;
• Low Dimensional Materials, Nanostructures, III-V/IV-IV Quantum Dots, Wires and Wells;
• Assembly and characterization of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes for field emission applications;
• Biomaterials, Protein Attachments and Applications;
• Functional Coatings, III-V, Ternary and quaternary compound semiconductors;
• Modeling and simulation of quantum structures, nanocluster dynamics and self-organization processes;
• Staff Development and Training of Students of International Standing;
• Engaging Singapore-based Research into International Collaborative Programs;
• Development of in-situ plasma diagnostic tools.

PSAC focuses on various areas, including the development of high-density plasma reactors, low dimensional materials, carbon nanotubes, biomaterials, functional coatings, modeling of quantum structures, staff development and training, international collaborations, and in-situ plasma diagnostic tools.

The PSAC aims to advance scientific knowledge, train students, and foster collaborations with international partners in the field of plasma physics, materials science, nanotechnology, biomaterials, semiconductor physics, computational modeling, and diagnostic tool development.
