Can be utilized in such things to broaden the interior space of the small car.

Ceramic electronic component materials used in automotive electronic control unit, to be developed using tin ferroelectric, Hasegawa Professor Nagoya (crystalline material engineering) et al succeeded. In order to become an electronic control unit to put near the high temperature of the engine, and that can be utilized in such that to increase the interior space of a small car.
In Nagoya University and Murata of joint research, to be published in academic journals of the US Society of Materials Science. Even at high temperatures than conventional aim of functioning ferroelectric, and focused on the tin. The compressed material was added tin device using a diamond, is heated, was achieved by reducing the crystal structure.
Nagoya University Ecotopia Science Institute of Muto Professor et al., Was confirmed the results in ultra-high-voltage electron microscope. Also I function at high temperatures in excess of 150 degrees with respect to the 125 degrees of conventional products. In order to use the tin to avoid the lead of hazardous substances "impact on the environment is small" (Hasegawa Professor). And that promote the Murata Manufacturing and research towards a stable production. Please complete the further research and for practical use and is stable production.


自動車の電子制御装置などに使われるセラミックス電子部品の材料、強誘電体をスズを使って開発することに、名古屋大の長谷川教授（結晶材料工学）らが成功した。電子制御装置を高温のエンジン近くに置けるようになるため、小型車の室内空間を広げることなどに活用できるという。
　名大と村田製作所の共同研究で、米材料学会の学術雑誌に発表する。従来より高温でも機能する強誘電体を目指し、スズに着目。スズを添加した原料をダイヤモンドを使った装置で圧縮、加熱し、結晶構造を小さくすることで実現した。
　名大エコトピア科学研究所の武藤教授らが、超高圧電子顕微鏡で成果を確認した。従来品の１２５度に対し１５０度を超える高温でも機能する。有害物質の鉛を避けスズを使ったため「環境への負荷も少ない」（長谷川教授）。安定的な生産に向け村田製作所と研究を進めるという。実用化と安定的な生産に向けて更なる研究を進めてください。
