Norio Taniguchi (谷口 紀男, Taniguchi Norio, May 27, November 15, ) was a professor of Tokyo University of Science. He coined the term nano-technology in [1] to describe semiconductor processes such as thin film deposition and ion beam milling exhibiting characteristic control on the order of a nanometer: "Nano-technology"
mainly consists of the processing of separation, consolidation, and deformation of materials by one atom or one molecule."[2]Taniguchi started his research on abrasive mechanisms of high precision machining of hard and brittle materials. At Tokyo University of Science, he went on to pioneer the application of energy beam
