Carry out next-generation research to realize our near-future society composed of photonics and information

Dexerials Corporation is a manufacturer providing functional materials for use in smartphones, automobiles and other domains in accordance with its corporate vision, Value Matters - Unprecedented innovation, unprecedented value.
This Research Center will have an operating structure under which highly skilled specialists from both parties will work together to further step up academic-industrial collaboration and expand joint studies. Tohoku University owns science and technology in new materials, high precision measurement, ultra-fine processing and bonding and stacking at atomic and nanometer levels, while Dexerials Group holds technologies in materials, micro-nano fabrication and other processing and optical semiconductors. Based on these technologies, we will aim to create new technologies, products and solutions in the field of photonics at unprecedented levels in unexplored areas. In addition, we will accelerate development of personnel that can play central roles in the new era in these fields.

Themes

• Pursuit and expansion of joint research subjects
  By utilizing our mass production imprint technology using high-precision microstructure roll together with high-sensitivity photodiode optical devices, we will explore new technologies, products, and solutions in photonics field such as highspeed optical communications and sensing that will lead to creation of new business area at unprecedented levels.
• Human resource development
  We will develop personnel that can play central roles in the new era in photonics industry field.
