摘要:
Methods and devices for performing matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization protocols are provided. In accordance with the subject methods, an analyte is first deposited into a fluid retaining structure present on a substrate surface. The fluid retaining structure includes a material that changes from a first fluid state to a second solid state in response to an applied stimulus. The resultant retained analyte is then digested with an analyte-digesting reagent to produce fragments of the analyte. The resultant fragments are then ionized for subsequent mass spectrometry analysis. Also provided are devices, e.g., sample holders, suitable for use in the subject methods. Kits for use in the subject methods are also provided.

Quartz member such as a quartz tube for semiconductor manufacturing equipment capable of heat treating a substrate to be treated without causing contamination, a manufacturing method of such quartz member, thermal treatment equipment furnished with such quartz member, and an analysis method of metal in quartz member are provided. A quartz specimen is immersed in hydrofluoric acid to expose a layer to be analyzed located at a prescribed depth. On an exposed surface, a decomposition liquid such as hydrofluoric acid or nitric acid is dripped to decompose only an extremely thin layer to be analyzed, followed by recovering of the decomposition liquid. The decomposition liquid is quantitatively analyzed by use of atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) or the like to measure an amount of metal contained in the decomposition liquid. From a difference of thicknesses before and after the decomposition and an area of dripped decomposition liquid, a volume of a decomposed layer to be analyzed is obtained. From this and the amount of metal contained in the decomposition liquid, a concentration of metal contained in the layer to be analyzed, in addition a diffusion coefficient of a layer to be analyzed is calculated. With thus obtained diffusion coefficient as an index, quartz material in which metal diffuses with difficulty is sorted out. With thus sorted quartz material, a quartz member used for semiconductor manufacturing equipment such as a quartz tube is manufactured.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to implanting arsenic into a wafer to quickly detect if there is metal contamination, such as iron, aluminum, or manganese, on the wafer. In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, a method for detecting metal contamination of a silicon chip comprises implanting arsenic ions into the silicon chip, and etching the silicon chip with a chemical etching solution. The existence of any metal contamination is detected by observing occurrence of silicon pits on the silicon chip caused by reaction between the arsenic ions and the metal contamination and etching with the chemical etching solution.

The present invention provides for a hydride formation analytical apparatus which forms hydrides of target components contained in a sample liquid and then analyzes them. The hydride formation analytical apparatus comprises a sample-introducing part, a reagent-introducing part, a reaction part, a gas-liquid separating part and a detecting part, wherein an acid-feeding part and a reducing agent-feeding part are part of the reagent-introducing part; the hydride gas of the sample is formed by the aid of the acid and the reducing agent fed into the above reaction part; and this is introduced into the detecting part for analysis.
摘要:
An automated microwave sample digestion system is disclosed in which a focused microwave digestion system is operated under computer control in association with a computer controlled robotic positioning system such that sample tubes containing samples to be digested are loaded and unloaded into and out from the cooking cavities of the microwave digestion oven in a preprogrammed manner in order to both increase the efficiency of the processing of samples as well as to produce consistent operating conditions for each sample being digested. An additional pump and syringe line is provided for both washing the tube condenser utilized during the digestion process as well as for diluting the digested sample.
摘要:
An apparatus and test method for determining the cleanliness (based on corrosivity) of a specific area on an electronic circuit assembly, such as the area between holes or pads on a single side of an assembly. The apparatus includes: (1) an extraction cell for providing an extraction fluid to an electronic circuit assembly ("ECA") area to be measured; (2) an extraction fluid for extracting residue from the ECA area to be measured; (3) a test cell with two or more electrodes and a voltage source for providing a voltage to the electrodes; and (4) a timer for measuring the time between the application of the voltage and an electrical short between the electrodes. The method includes: (1) positioning an extraction cell over an electronic circuit assembly area to be measured; (2) dispensing an extraction fluid into the extraction cell; (3) contacting the ECA area to be measured with the extraction fluid for a time sufficient to extract residue from the ECA area; (4) transferring the extraction fluid to a test cell made of two or more electrodes; (5) applying a voltage to the electrodes; and (6) measuring the time between the application of the voltage and an electrical short between the electrodes.

摘要:
A microorganism detection apparatus detects contaminating microorganisms in a sample. For detecting the contaminating microorganisms more quickly than a conventional apparatus, the microorganism detection apparatus includes a pre-treatment unit that sorts out contaminating microorganisms from a sample and concentrates the contaminating microorganisms, and a measurement unit that measures an ATP content in a concentrate obtained as a result of concentration by the pre-treatment unit. The pre-treatment unit sorts out the contaminating microorganisms from the sample by removing cells other than the contaminating microorganisms in the sample by physical disruption, chemical disruption, and/or filtering.
