Philosophy & Purpose
The philosophy of CRDAM is to develop new materials to support the innovation of the 21st century, aiming to establish basic principles and process technologies for material design and fabrication of superior new materials. Furthermore, we will work on the development of seeds such as materials, process, and evaluation technology created by IMR in collaboration with other research divisions in IMR. This philosophy and purpose are inherited from the foundation of the center.
