  • Patent number: 7820423
    Abstract: The present application provides a method for predicting the functional site of a protein using data of the entire proteins of an organism of which genome data or cDNA data is known. More specifically, the present application provides a method for predicting a protein functional site, comprising the steps of calculating the frequency of occurrence of an oligopeptide in the entire proteins, calculating the value of each amino-acid residue contributing to the frequency of occurrence as the representative value of the function, and predicting the protein functional site by using the representative value of function as an indicator. The present also provides a system for predicting a functional site for automatically performing said methods.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5686364
    Abstract: A method for producing for a SOI type bonded substrate for semiconductor integrated circuits which has a void areal ratio which approaches or is equal to zero %, when heat treated at temperatures on the order of 1250.degree. C. The method involves: superimposing a Si single crystal wafer having a main surface of which is covered by a Si polycrystal layer, beneath which Si single crystal islands are formed on the main surface and are isolated from each other by V grooves with interposition of a dielectric film, which V grooves are filled up by the Si polycrystal layer, and a support made from Si material between the Si polycrystal layer and a surface of the support with a dielectrically insulating layer sandwiched therebetween; and conducting heat treatment of the superimposed Si single crystal wafer and the support to effect bonding therebetween.

  • Patent number: 5240883
    Abstract: A thin Silicon film On Insulator (SOI) material fabricating method which is capable of providing a very high thickness uniformity of the silicon film, a process simplification and a considerable reduction of processing cost is disclosed, in which a silicon oxide film is formed on one or both of a p-type silicon bond wafer and a silicon base wafer, then the two wafers are bonded together through the silicon oxide film, subsequently a fixed positive charge is induced in the silicon oxide film to form a n-type inversion layer in the p-type silicon bond wafer adjacent to an interface between the p-type silicon bond wafer and the silicon oxide film layer, and thereafter a chemical etching is effected while applying a positive voltage to the p-type silicon bond wafer so that an etch-stop is made at an interface between a depletion layer including the n-type inversion layer and the p-type layer.
