Tapeless fasteners jointly developed by JUKI and YKK (bottom photo)

JUKI and YKK have jointly developed the "Airy String" zipper, which has no tape, and a sewing machine for sewing the zipper. JUKI will manufacture the sewing machines, and YKK will buy and rent the machines and sell the fasteners. The developed fastener is expected to improve operability and design by integrating with the fabric. The sewing machine has developed a new mechanism to synchronize the elements that interlock the zipper with the fabric. This eliminates the need for stitching, which is done after the tape and fabric are sewn together to prevent them from shifting, thus reducing the sewing process. The two companies have been promoting joint development since January 2017, and in March announced a device that streamlines the sewing of fasteners for jeans, resulting in a significant increase in productivity.Photo taken on June 13, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images

                    Technology to etch Kai semiconductor with fluoroplastic instead of CFC gas

                    Technology to etch Kai semiconductor with fluoroplastic instead of CFC gas

                    The established technology will be used for dry etching, thin film formation and cleaning of silicon. Easy-to-handle gases such as argon and nitrogen are irradiated onto solid fluoropolymers to generate fluorine-containing gas. The gas is then used for plasma treatment. Using a proto device with electrodes developed for special equipment, the company irradiated nitrogen gas and etched a glass substrate, and was able to etch 40 nanometers in one minute. The company plans to achieve an etching speed of 200 nanometers for commercialization. Plasma is an unstable state in which electrons have been removed from molecules, and it modifies the surface of materials, improving adhesion and cleaning effects.
