BACKGROUND<br />

Toshiba has a history over 100 years. In 1939, Shibaura Engineering<br />

Works <strong>and</strong> Tokyo Electric Company were merged to a single company<br />

named Tokyo Shibaura Electric Company. In 1978, it changed its named to<br />

Toshiba Corporation.<br />

Toshiba has a 3-layered R&D organization with long-, medium- <strong>and</strong><br />

short-term elements: the corporate laboratories work on new technology that<br />

may be applied to products 5 to 10 years later; the development laboratories<br />

are working on technology for deployment 3 to 5 years later; the engineering<br />

departments in the operating divisions have as their most important task the<br />

solution of problems inherent to present products.<br />

RESEARCH AND TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS<br />

The following sections summarize the ongoing work in various Toshiba<br />

laboratories concerned with nanostructure technologies, based on<br />

presentations made to the WTEC panel by our hosts.
