  • Publication number: 20220035246
    Abstract: A method for producing a plated formed product includes: a step (1) of forming on a substrate of the substrate having a metal film a resin film of a photosensitive resin composition containing a sulfur-containing compound having at least one selected from a mercapto group, a sulfide bond, and a polysulfide bond; a step (2) of exposing the resin film; a step (3) of developing the exposed resin film to form a resist pattern film; a step (4) of performing plasma treatment of a substrate having the resist pattern film on the metal film with oxygen-containing gas; and a step (5) of performing, after the plasma treatment, plating treatment with the resist pattern film as a mold.

  • Publication number: 20210002709
    Abstract: A method for identifying a bacterium includes: (1) A step of performing a reverse transcription reaction using a first reaction system consisting of a primer for reverse transcription to prepare a cDNA containing a base sequence for identification of a bacterium of interest, an RNA extracted from the bacterium in a sample, and an enzyme with RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity to obtain a reaction mixture containing the synthesized cDNA and the primers for the reverse transcription, (2) A step of performing PCR using a second reaction system consisting of the reaction mixture, a primer pair for synthesis of a double-stranded DNA containing the base sequence for identification of the bacterium of interest, and an enzyme with DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity, and (3) A step of detecting the generation of the double-stranded DNA containing the base sequence for identification of the bacterium of interest from the second reaction system after PCR.

  • Patent number: 8112167
    Abstract: A process control method comprises adjusting a process condition in consideration of a performance variation among a plurality of manufacturing apparatuses, the performance variation affecting a finished shape of a pattern used to manufacture a semiconductor device, running a simulation of the finished shape under the adjusted process condition, extracting a dangerous point of the pattern affecting satisfaction from the result of the simulation, comparing a first process capability serving as a judgment standard to find whether a production schedule of the device is achieved with a second capability serving to form a dangerous pattern containing the dangerous point, and improving the second process when the second process capability is lower than the first process capability.
