Abstract: After performing a dividing step to divide a wafer into individual chips, an irradiation step is performed to apply ultraviolet radiation or plasma to the mount side of each chip, thereby generating ozone and active oxygen, which functions to remove organic matter sticking to the mount side of each chip. Accordingly, it is possible to remove from the mount side of each chip not only foreign matter sticking to the wafer during handling the wafer, but also foreign matter generated in dividing the wafer, so that faulty mounting of each chip can be reduced.

The radio communication terminal includes a request data information holding unit (103) and a start control unit (105). The request data information holding unit (103) extracts, as request data information, information concerning data to be received by a local terminal, from holding data information concerning the data held by the data transmission terminal. Moreover, the request data information holding unit (103) holds the extracted request data information in a buffer of the request data information holding unit (103). The start control unit (105) starts a second radio communication device (102) for making communication with a data transmission terminal by a second radio communication if an operation on the first radio communication device (101) is detected while the request data information is held in the request data information holding unit (103).

Abstract: A cDNA is prepared from mRNA. The prepared cDNA is subjected to incision with two different types of restriction enzymes. The sequence of a portion of each of the fragments obtained as a result of treatment is determined, and the fragments are classified on the basis of the determined sequence by using a primer set. At the same time, the fragments are amplified in a manner that the relative expression magnitude thereof continues to be reflected therein. When the fragments have been classified into a predetermined number of fractions, the respective fractions are subjected to electrophoresis, and a gene expression profile is produced from the results.
