3. Research and development of component technologies
The research and development of the main subjects are promoted by
being divided into the following main component technologies.
| Miniature circuit formation technology | |
| Plating technology to make high-definition circuit formation possible | |
| Evaluation of high-performance materials and development of processing technologies that are compatible with high-density and high-speed semiconductors | |
| Evaluation technology and simulation technology for high-frequency compatible boards | |
| Evaluation technology for next generation board materials | |
| Advancement and increased efficiency of developments that use computer simulation technology | |
| Compatibility with the environment |
4.
New product research and development
Based on component technology developments, we are primarily promoting
new product development such as the following.
| Next generation build-up wiring boards (thin-model, high-density and high-frequency compatible, flex-rigid type, etc.) | |
| Highly multilayered boards | |
| Compound board with heterogeneous materials (high heat radiation boards, etc.) | |
| Built-in component boards | |
| Boards for semiconductor package use (rigid type, tape type) |
5.
Joint research and development with other companies
We are also actively involved in joint research and development with
companies and organizations with leading technology, and we are moving
forward to
put distinctive new products on the market as quickly as possible.
