Abstract: An automated analyzer includes a container installation portion in which a container, such as a reagent container, has a protrusion and an openable and closable lid. A lid opening and closing mechanism opens and closes the lid and includes an arm portion having an arm and a horizontal driving portion which moves the arm in a first horizontal direction. The arm includes a protrusion contacting portion that includes a first surface having an angle greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees when the horizontal surface is set as 0 degrees. The lid opening and closing mechanism portion opens the lid by moving the arm in the first horizontal direction, contacting the lid protrusion on the first surface of the protrusion contacting portion, and then moving the lid protrusion along a shape of the first surface in a vertical direction, until the lid is opened.

Abstract: While an insulating film having a near-field light generating element placed thereon is being irradiated with light in an electrolytic solution, or after the film that has been irradiated with light is disposed in the electrolytic solution, a first voltage is applied between the two electrodes installed in the electrolytic solution across the film, a second voltage is then applied between the two electrodes, and a value of a current that flows between the two electrodes due to the application of the second voltage is detected. This procedure is stopped when the current value reaches or exceeds a pre-set threshold value, whereby a hole is formed at a desired location in the thin-film.

Abstract: Provided is a plasma etching method which enables etching with high accuracy while controlling and reducing surface roughness of a transition metal film. The etching is performed for the transition metal film, which is formed on a sample and contains a transition metal element, by a first step of isotropically generating a layer of transition metal oxide on a surface of the transition metal film while a temperature of the sample is maintained at 100° C. or lower, a second step of raising the temperature of the sample to a predetermined temperature of 150° C. or higher and 250° C. or lower while a complexation gas is supplied to the layer of transition metal oxide, a third step of subliming and removing a reactant generated by an reaction between the complexation gas and the transition metal oxide formed in the first step while the temperature of the sample is maintained at 150° C. or higher and 250° C. or lower, and a fourth step of cooling the sample.
