Message
Gallium oxide is a new type of semiconductor material originating in Japan and the founders of its research group have only recently discovered the usefulness of this material in power devices. Novel Crystal Technology was established in 2015 with the primary objective of developing and promoting gallium oxide.
The Tamura Corporation, the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in Japan and the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology are the core figures of the research and development team behind gallium oxide and lead the world in this field. Our technologies are based on the results of their research.
Novel Crystal Technology is a ‘carve-out’ venture from the Tamura Corporation and a technology transfer venture from NICT.
Creating new resources will create a new futuristic way of living. In order to help realize this concept, we provide exceptional materials which will expedite the development of gallium oxide power devices carried out by our customers; public institutions and research and development teams of corporations. We will continue to make progress in our technologies.

Quality Policy
We will create new semiconductor products which support evolving social demands
for lectrification and digitalization, and provide products which always help improving customers’ satisfactions in all cases.
Quality Target in Fiscal Year 2026
To accelerate the social implementation of gallium oxide technologies, we will steadily advance medium- to long-term technological development aimed at commercializing low-cost 150 mm wafers by FY2029, followed by the realization of high-breakdown-voltage power modules in the early 2030s. In addition, we will actively provide new wafer samples to further stimulate R&D activities in academia and among device manufacturers, while simultaneously pursuing cost reductions through advancements in production technologies. Furthermore, we will secure the necessary resources for R&D and capital expenditures through fundraising and increasing sales revenue and gross profit. At the same time, we will identify and establish device application fields that enable an early business launch, in order to bring forward the payback period for development investments projected in the early 2030s.
