Prototype
Mass production
Large size production
Two way for industrialization
◦
Plan A: Prototype production in institute, and then mass production in
industrial company
Pros:
Many trial for various condition can be done in short term and low cost
Cons:
It is not easy to find industrial company to make it to industrialization. (Some times,
we need to make new company by ourselves)
Technology transfer is not so easy
◦
Plan B From prototype, made by industrial company
Pros:
Technology transfer is already done from beginning
Cons:
If we cannot find the industrial company that can make prototype, it doesn’t work
Try and error cycle is slow, and it takes many costs

Lanzhou institute has their
own spattering machine
(case of plan A)
◦
Many trial and results in
various case have been
reported in short term
◦
It is not clear that the
possibility of mass production
Also, the most of
industrialization process
from CERN seems to be case
of plan A

We have already use industrial
process (case of plan B)
◦
Be-Sputter Co, Ltd., (Industrial
company)
Their sputtering chamber is made by
themselves
The sputtering equipment is very large
There are several sputtering chambers
◦
Usually, they are work on metal
sputtering
For electronics devices, optical devices,
surface treatment …
Usually, they have not used carbon for
sputtering
We have collaborated with Be-Sputter
for preparing carbon target and
improving C sputter quality.
◦
Max size … 1m x 4.5m (foil)

Be-Sputter Co. Ltd.
(Kyoto Japan)
ITO transparent conductive film
Faraday cage on plastic
Etc …

We need industrial
company with PCB
process
◦
Photo lithography
process is needed
for making mask of
DLC
In our case, we
used RAYTECH co.
ltd. for patterning.

Substrate (polyimide)
Photo resist
(reverse pattern of
surface strips)
Substrate (polyimide)
Metal/Carbo
n sputtering
Substrate (polyimide)
Developing the resists
@PCB company
(Laytech inc.)
@Sputtering
company
(Be-Sputter inc.)
@PCB company
(Laytech inc.)
Most serious problem for Japanese industrial
company (in our case, those are small company)
is
communication proble
m!
Both Be-sputter and RAYTECH cannot trade with
oversea clients
◦
They cannot make English documents
◦
Most of all engineer/technician cannot communicate
with English
Providing DLC materials to foreign institute, we
need trading company, that is familiar with those
product.
◦
In our case, REPIC is used now.
For technical feedback, I have been a contact
person.

I am belonging in University
◦
Kobe University is not large institute, and it is very difficult to have a production
facilities
When I have some idea or issues for prototype production …
◦
I look for the industrial companies to do that
◦
There is many industrial companies those who have attractive techniques.
◦
However, it is important to us that how to find it. In many case, the companies, who
can take on our prototype order, is small companies.
◦
Then it is very important to survey the industrial companies
Industrial exhibition is important place to find new technology and to find who can do
that
Keeping touch with technician and business staff of industrial companies to get news
and connection for other companies
After finding the industrial companies
◦
We have to keep in mind that we need costs
But it is cheaper than buying all equipment for new production by our selves
We have to applying external budget very often
◦
Sometimes, we arrange the special materials by our selves
In the case of mass production
◦
From start, we have to estimate the ability of mass production of the industrial
companies.
◦
If the company is too small to do mass production, they have some knowledge that
how it works using other companies.

We have both Plan A and Plan B
◦
Plan A: Prototype production in institute, and then
mass production in industrial company
◦
Plan B From prototype, made it by industrial
company
We can proceed industrialization process (for
large size production, mass production) for
new technology using complementary of both
plan A and B !

Various industrialization plans for mass production are compared, focusing on the advantages and challenges of Prototype production in an institute followed by mass production in an industrial company (Plan A) versus having the prototype made by an industrial company from the beginning (Plan B). Case studies and collaborations with industrial companies like Be-Sputter Co., Ltd., are highlighted, showcasing the utilization of sputtering equipment for metal sputtering, electronics devices, and surface treatment. The importance of technology transfer and collaboration with PCB companies for processes like photo lithography is also discussed. Key considerations and outcomes of industrialization processes are presented based on real-world examples and collaborations in the field.
