  • Patent number: 11028479
    Abstract: A method of forming a tungsten film on a surface of a target substrate having a base film is performed by repeating a cycle plural times. The cycle includes alternately supplying a tungsten chloride gas and a reducing gas for reducing the tungsten chloride gas, with a purge interposed therebetween, into a process container in which the target substrate is accommodated and that is maintained under a depressurized atmosphere. The method includes setting a supply flow rate of the tungsten chloride gas and a time of the cycle such that a ratio of a thickness of the base film etched by repeating the cycle the plural times to a thickness of the base film before repeating the cycle the plural times becomes smaller than a predetermined ratio in a state where an integrated flow rate of the tungsten chloride gas per one cycle is kept substantially constant.

  • Patent number: 8298758
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a multiple detection method that can detect contaminating microorganisms existing in foods, including pathogenic Escherichia coli O157, Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp., with high sensitivity comparable or even superior to official methods, comprising the steps of amplifying a plural number of target genes with a single PCR reaction tube and analyzing the same. The following steps are performed consecutively: (A) a step of extracting DNA of the target microorganisms to be detected by treating with at least a lytic enzyme such as Achromopepidase and Lysozyme and/or bacteriocin having lytic activity such as Enterolysine, a surfactant and a protein denaturing agent; and (B) a step of mixing a specific primer to the target microorganisms to be detected to perform multiplex PCR. Further, it is preferable to add a step of culturing with a culture condition where 1 CFU/100 g microorganisms becomes 10.sup.
