Electronics

We are developing high-performance flexible printed circuits (FPCs) for use in, for instance,  mobile electronic devices and medical instruments. To meet the growing demand for higher circuit density, finer patterning, and high-frequency transmission, we are advancing ultra-fine circuit products based on our proprietary materials and processing technologies. We are also working to apply these technologies to customers' products.

We are developing a technology that significantly improves the wear resistance of fluororesins—which offer inherently excellent properties such as low friction, heat resistance, chemical resistance, and weatherability—by inducing crosslinking through electron beam irradiation under carefully controlled conditions. This also enables adhesion to metal substrates. We are applying this technology as a coating for oil pumps and sliders to expand into high-performance sliding applications.

Compound semiconductors are widely used in applications that go beyond the capabilities of silicon semiconductors. As a pioneer in this field, we develop a wide range of materials, advance crystal growth technologies for larger, higher-quality wafers, and explore new materials to drive the development of next-generation devices.
