奈米科技核心設施建置是發展奈米科技的基礎，有完善的資源與儀器設備才能夠進行各項尖端的實驗研究。鑑於尖端科技之儀器成本及維護費用極為高昂，因此提升儀器的使用效率及產出表現，增進設施等資源的最大效益，培養優秀的專業技術師，是各國對於產、學、研所致力發展的關鍵指標。本篇藉由美國、日本、德國、韓國、及中國大陸近幾年奈米核心設施的規劃與發展表現，相較我國奈米國家型計畫－核心設施計畫的規劃，企圖透過世界經驗與我國第一期核心設施計畫執行成效，作為台灣下階段奈米核心設施計畫的建議與參考。

For there to have a cutting-edge nanotechnology, it must have top core facilities dedicated to providing the latest equipment necessary to the research and development of nanotechnology. Because of the high cost of those high-tech facilities, how to utilize the R&D resources effectively is a key issue to the nanotechnology development. The purpose of this article is to review Taiwan's nanotechnology development and to make a comparison with other countries such as USA, Germany, Japan, Korean, and China. Taiwan has initiated the national nanotechnology program for years. We expect to learn from the international experiences.
