PROJECTS
We are advancing collaborative projects with a range of government agencies.
The research and development driven by Ookuma Diamond Device, aimed at creating a next-generation semiconductor industry,
is expected to contribute to shaping the future of society.
Reconstruction Agency
In this project, we aim to enable precise monitoring under high-radiation environments by developing a detector using high quality diamond for in-vessel inspection and by establishing radiation-resistant packaging technology.
Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications
This project aims to facilitate the use of the W-band, R&D efforts such as high-power Diamond amplifiers will be undertaken to establish fundamental technologies for transceiver amplifiers, which serve as key devices in the transceiver system.
Research Partners Tohoku University (representative institution), Hiroshima University, Hokkaido University, others
Cabinet Office
This project aims to improve the manufacturing yield of diamond semiconductors and standardize in-house technologies. By achieving the establishment of robust manufacturing processes, it will significantly shorten product development cycles and facilitate horizontal deployment of manufacturing know-how.
Research Partners Hokkaido University, Tohoku University, National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)
Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Agency
This project will develop the elemental technologies necessary to enhance output performance through foundational studies of high-frequency diamond semiconductor devices.
Research Partners Hokkaido University (representative institution)
Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry
This project plans the construction of the Ookuma Diamond Device First Plant, which will serve as the world’s first dedicated manufacturing base for diamond semiconductors. The proposed site is the Chuo Industrial Zone, located in Oaza Shimonokami Aza Hara, Okuma Town, Futaba District, Fukushima Prefecture.
The Fukushima Institute for Research, Education and Innovation
This development aims to create diamond microprocessors and diamond memory devices that can ultimately be used in nuclear decommissioning and space applications, by leveraging diamond semiconductor technology with exceptional radiation resistance.
Research Partners Hokkaido University (representative institution), National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), National Institute of Technology, Fukushima College
Japan Atomic Energy Agency
This project will develop the elemental technologies necessary to construct a wireless system that can ultimately operate inside reactor containment and pressure vessels.
Research Partners Institute of Science Tokyo (representative institution), Nagoya University, Hokkaido University
