We hope to have the opportunities to ask Prof. Yoshimura for his advice on the ceramic materials field, to give back to National Cheng Kung University to fulfill our social responsibilities and to inspire many enterprises to take part in the university education or joint research.”
Prof. Masahiro Yoshimura is currently the Professor Emeritus of Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, a Distinguished Visiting Professor of National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan, and the next President of the Advisory Board of World Academy of Ceramics (WAC) from 2010 to 2014. He has done research in the Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, U.S., and the Laboratoire de Chimie Appliqee de l’Etat Solide C.E.C.M., France, and has received many awards such as 2006 Tokyo Metropolitan Academic Award, 2007 Research Award, Ministry of Education, Culture & Science, Japan and 2009 Lee Hsun Award, Institute of Metal Research, China.
The Solar Applied Materials Technology Corporation not only focuses on business management to seek the maximum benefits for the stockholders, it also values talent cultivation. The industry-academia cooperation with NCKU can elevate the research energy of national material teaching field, and the appointment of Prof. Masahiro Yoshimura can assist Solar to enhance the progress and development of ceramic materials.
Founded in 1978, Solar Applied Materials Technology Corporation is now the largest reflective-layer sputtering target manufacturer worldwide. The product line falls into four major categories, including precious chemicals/ materials, thin film targets and evaporation materials, special chemicals and resources recycling and refining. The core competitiveness lies in solid R&D competence and strategic alliance with domestic and international partners such as Ames Solar Applied Silver Materials Corp., Forcera Materials Co., Ltd. and Htc & Solartech Service Limited. The company is able to integrate resources and technology in Solar Group by constructing an overall management system from target and component manufacturing, recycling and refining, parts cleaning to logistics; thus, contributing to a value model of Inside Chamber Total Solution.
