Abstract: A measurement system is capable of accurately aligning the corresponding measurement points of a plurality of measurement targets to evaluate the measurement targets from measurement results. A measurement system includes a measuring instrument and a PC, the measuring instrument includes a spectroscopic unit that measures a measurement point of a measurement target and a camera that images surroundings in real-time. The PC displays an evaluation image of continuous image information, which is imaged and displayed by the camera on a display screen so as to be superimposed on a reference image of still image information, which has been imaged and stored in memory. By comparing the data obtained by measuring the measurement point in the evaluation image when both images overlap each other and the measurement data of the point in the reference image, it is possible to perform positioning easily and compare the measurement data.

Abstract: A bottom antireflective coating layer is made from the compositions of organic photosensitive materials containing isoflavone chromophore by photolithography utilizing deep ultraviolet light source for producing a submicro-level, large-scale integrated chip. A copolymer being contained an isoflavone chromophore is used as a bottom antireflective coating layer for fabricating a 64-megabit or gigabit DRAMs. The antireflective coating layer enables not only to suppress reflection of light that occurs under the substrate layer but also to remove standing waves. Consequently, a high-resolution sub-micron of 100˜200 nm integrated circuit is able to be stably formed. Therefore, it is possible to increase the production of semiconductors.

Abstract: A marketing system capable of improving security of private information in mail order. Terminal equipment of a client retrieves product information from communications equipment of a provider. The terminal equipment of the client starts a program for an order when the client places an order on a display screen displaying the product information. Receiving order information input by the client, the terminal equipment of the client transmits the order information to terminal equipment of a vendor through a communications network other than WAN (wide area network). When the program is not installed in the terminal equipment of the client, it can be transmitted from the communications equipment of the provider to the terminal equipment.
