摘要:
An object of the present invention relates to distinguishing, from a fluorophore of an unreacted substrate, a single fluorophore attached to a nucleotide that is incorporated into a probe by a nucleic acid synthesis. The present invention relates to a nucleic acid analyzing device that analyzes a nucleic acid in sample by fluorescence, wherein a localized surface plasmon is generated by illumination, and a probe for analyzing the nucleic acid in the sample is on the site where the surface plasmon is generated. According to the present invention, since it is possible to efficiently produce fluorescence intensifying effects due to the surface plasmon and to immobilize the probe to a region within the reach of the fluorescence intensifying effects, it becomes possible to measure a nucleic acid synthesis without removing unreacted nucleotide to which fluorophores are attached.

Provided is a culture sheet which enables a technique for forming a three-dimensional tissue having uniform diameter without applying any chemical on the surface of a culture substrate. On the culture sheet (150) of the culture substrate, a plurality of holes (152) are formed and nanopillars (153), which are capable of controlling the adhesiveness and migration ability of cells, are formed on the bottom surface of each hole (152), said bottom face serving as a culture surface. The culture surface of each hole (151) is provided with a partition wall (152) and the internal nanopillars (153) are formed in the vicinity of the center of the hole (151). Owing to this configuration, the interaction among the disseminated cells can be restricted so that uniformly sized three-dimensional structures of the cells can be formed.

An operating efficiency of an observer is considerably restricted since it is not known at which position a culturing cell is disposed among a great number of pieces of holes of a culturing sheet. The culturing sheet is configured by a partitioning wall, a hole isolated by the partitioning wall, a local culturing region formed with plural local culturing region pillars a height of which is lower than that of the partitioning wall at a portion of a bottom face, and identification mark pillars formed at an identification mark region which differs from the culturing region at the bottom face of the hole. An identification mark is prevented from being unable to be optically recognized by adhering a spheroid to the identification mark region by making a diameter and a height of the identification mark pillar smaller than a diameter and a height of the local culturing pillar.

An etching technique capable of applying etching at high selectivity to a transition metal element-containing electrode material layer which is formed on or above a dielectric material layer made of a high-dielectric-constant or “high-k” insulator is provided. To this end, place a workpiece on a lower electrode located within a vacuum processing vessel. The workpiece has a multilayer structure of an electrode material layer which contains therein a transition metal element and a dielectric material layer made of high-k insulator. Then, while introducing a processing gas into the vacuum processing vessel, high-frequency power is applied to inside of the vacuum processing vessel, thereby performing plasma conversion of the introduced processing gas so that the workpiece is etched at its surface. When etching the electrode material layer, an HCl gas is supplied as the processing gas.
摘要:
A plasma processing apparatus in which power consumption is reduced, which can generate uniform plasma in a large range and in which minute processing in high etching selectivity and in high aspect ratio is enabled is disclosed. High density plasma is generated in a vacuum vessel housing a processed sample utilizing an electron cyclotron resonance phenomenon caused by an electromagnetic wave in an ultra-high frequency band and a magnetic field and the surface of the processed sample is etched using this plasma. An electromagnetic wave in an ultra-high frequency band for generating plasma is radiated from a planar conductive plate consisting of graphite or silicon which is arranged opposite to the surface of the processed sample into space inside the vacuum vessel. High density plasma in the low degree of dissociation can be generated by using an electromagnetic wave in an ultra-high frequency band and as a result, the controllability of etching reaction can be enhanced. Further, a radical effective in etching can be increased by reaction between the surface of a planar conductive plate for radiating an electromagnetic wave and plasma.

A surface analyzing method comprising an ion generation step for generating multiply-charged ions of specific ion species and specific charge state; a deceleration step for decelerating the generated multiply-charged ions to a lower kinetic energy than an energy of threshold of sputtering of an objective material; an irradiation step for irradiating the decelerated multiply-charged ions on the surface of a sample; and an analysis step for analyzing particles or light emitted from the surface of said sample by the irradiation of said multiply-charged ions. Apparatus is provided for carrying out the method. Since the ions irradiated on the sample surface are multiply-charged ions having a lower kinetic energy than that of threshold of sputtering of materials constituting a sample, the irradiated ions interact merely with the top surface layer of the sample whereby analyzed information merely from the top surface layer of the sample can be obtained, and as a result, the kind of atoms of the top surface layer of the sample and the bonding state of said atoms can be analyzed with high sensitivity and high resolution.
