Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device in which probes and the layout of the electrode pads of a test element group (TEG) are associated is provided. As a semiconductor device is miniaturized, a scribe area on a wafer also tends to decrease. Accordingly, it is necessary to reduce the size of a TEG arranged in the scribe area, and efficiently arrange an electrode pad for probe contact. Thus, it is necessary to associate the probes and the layout of the electrode pad. According to the method, a layout of a TEG electrode pad corresponding to a plurality of probes arranged in a fan shape or probes manufactured by Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology is provided.

Abstract: Provided is an efficient method for attaching a tissue section. In the invention, one of problems is solved by changing attachment conditions of the tissue section depending on an organ from which the tissue section is derived. A technique of achieving good adhesiveness between a microscope slide and a section by introducing unevenness on a front surface of the microscope slide using reactive ion etching as one of the attachment conditions is provided. Further, a technique of optimizing the attachment of the section using a machine learning technique or the like is provided.
