  • Publication number: 20120029209
    Abstract: A method for synthesizing [18F]SFB is disclosed, which comprises using a microreactor including a substrate having one channel formed therein so as to have a cross-sectional width of 1 mm or less and a cross-sectional depth of 1 mm or less, the channel being connected to a raw material injection port and a first reagent injection port at one end thereof, and connected to a second reagent injection port at a position far from the one end thereof, and connected to a third reagent injection port at a position far from the second reagent injection port in a direction toward another end thereof, and connected to a liquid discharge port at the other end thereof; and continuously performing a three-step reaction by allowing a reaction solution to flow through the channel serving as a reaction channel from the one end to the other end thereof without taking out the reaction solution from anywhere between the one end and the other end of the channel.

  • Patent number: 7682880
    Abstract: Primitive cells, which are circuit patterns of the constituent elements of a semiconductor device, are arranged in the element formation area of a semiconductor device, and at least one fill cell with a diffusion layer and no wiring, is arranged in the vacant areas that are generated in the element formation area after the primitive cells have been arranged.

  • Patent number: 7489536
    Abstract: According to an embodiment of the invention, a fuse circuit includes: a pair of fuses; and a comparator circuit connected with nodes on one end side of the fuses through separating switches. The nodes on one end side of the pair of fuses are further connected with a ground terminal through blow switches. The other ends of the pair of fuses are connected with, for example, a power supply potential. Each blow switch is turned ON at the time of blowing the pair of fuses to supply a current to the pair of fuses. Each separating switch separates the comparator circuit from the nodes on one end side at the time of blowing the pair of fuses. One of the pair of fuses is certainly blown upon programming.

  • Patent number: 7479836
    Abstract: An oscillation circuit used in a semiconductor device such as a cell-based IC, and comprises: an inverting amplifier, which is constructed so that it is possible connect a crystal oscillator XL between its input and output terminals, and so that it is possible to adjust its gain by a control signal CNT; and a wave-shaping circuit such as a Schmitt circuit that shapes the waveform of the oscillation signal output from the inverting amplifier. The wave-shaping circuit is constructed so that it is possible to adjust the gain when shaping a waveform according to a control signal CNT to correspond with the gain adjustment of the inverting amplifier.

  • Publication number: 20060255869
    Abstract: An oscillation circuit used in a semiconductor device such as a cell-based IC, and comprises: an inverting amplifier 10, which is constructed so that it is possible connect a crystal oscillator XL between its input and output terminals, and so that it is possible to adjust its gain by a control signal CNT; and a wave-shaping circuit 11 such as a Schmitt circuit that shapes the waveform of the oscillation signal output from the inverting amplifier 10. The inverting amplifier 10 includes a plurality of inverter circuits that can be operated selectively, wherein one or two or more inverter circuits that are selected from the plurality of inverter circuits function as an inverting amplifier. The gain of the inverting amplifier is adjusted by selecting inverter circuits according to a control signal CNT.
