JST announces that enterprise-led development of production equipment for ultra-low loss nano crystal ribbon, supported through the NexTEP-B type phase of the agency’s “Adaptable and Seamless Technology Transfer Program through Target-driven R&D” (A-STEP) program, has succeeded in its goal of creating mass production equipment. This equipment should allow for the mass production of 250 mm-width nano crystal ribbon, an industry first. JST’s evaluation revealed that the program achieved its targeted results. The R&D challenge was consigned to Tohoku Magnet Institute (TMI) Co. Ltd., a company established around research performed by Professor Akihiro Makino and others at Tohoku University’s New Industry Creation Hatchery Center. The company performed practical development between April 2017 and March 2019.
