TeraView works with new partner to promote terahertz in Japan

Date Announced: 27 Apr 2016

Cambridge, UK – TeraView, the pioneer and leader in terahertz technology and solutions, is pleased to announce the appointment of the Sanyo Trading Company as their new partner for supply and supporting systems in Japan.

The agreement is set to further strengthen TeraView’s position as the global leader in terahertz technology, and forges a significant new relationship with Sanyo Trading, who have been actively involved with the supply of analytical systems and solutions for customers in Japan for almost 70 years.

Ken Nishimoto, Division Manager of Sanyo Trading Co. said of the appointment:
‘Sanyo Trading is pleased to announce our collaboration with TeraView. TeraView have attained an outstanding position in terahertz technology and applications with products such as the ”TeraPulse 4000”.

This advanced technology can meet with the ardent demand from across industries, including the automotive & coating industry, where customers wish to visualize material precisely. The measurement provided by this new technology could become the new standard in such demanding industries.’

Dr Don Arnone, Chief Executive Officer of TeraView, sees a significant stage in advancing TeraView’s presence in Japan. He commented: "Japan was one of the first countries to adopt terahertz for industrial applications in areas such as pharmaceuticals and food safety, and TeraView was proud to be the first solutions provider of choice for Japanese customers.

"Our relationship with Sanyo Trading is key towards expanding this activity to new industries where TeraView has demonstrated the capabilities of its unique technology and the associated business benefits to customers."


About Terahertz

Terahertz light lies between infra red and microwaves, and as such has unique properties which enables it to pass through objects and to transmit images and compositional (spectroscopic) information that is ordinarily hidden. Terahertz is non destructive, safe and fast, making it the ideal inspection and imaging modality for many applications across a range of industries.

TeraView has demonstrated the potential of terahertz technology in a number of applications including the detection of hidden weapons and explosives in security screening, monitoring the quality of pharmaceutical drugs, high value coatings used in automotive and other industries, as well as medical imaging of cancer.

In the semiconductor industry, Electro Optical Terahertz Pulse Reflectometry (EOTPR) is the world’s first use of terahertz to isolate the location of faults and manufacturing quality variations in integrated circuit packaging. EOTPR has been widely accepted by the leading semiconductor manufacturers as their tool of choice for isolating defects in advanced integrated circuit packages.

TeraView (www.teraview.com) is the world’s first and leading company solely focused upon the application of terahertz light to provide solutions to customer issues. A spin out from the Toshiba Corporation and Cambridge University, TeraView has developed its proprietary technology across a number of markets.

These include fault analysis and quality assurance for semiconductor chips used in mobile computing and communications, as well as non destructive inspection of high value coatings used in the automotive, pharmaceutical, food and solar industries.
