Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing doping regions in a semiconductor layer of a semiconductor component, wherein the method includes the following steps: A) implanting a first dopant of a first doping type into at least one implantation region in the semiconductor layer, which implantation region adjoins a first side of the semiconductor layer; B) applying a doping layer, which contains a second dopant of a second doping type, indirectly or directly at least to the first side of the semiconductor layer, wherein the first and the second doping type are opposite; C) by the effect of heat, simultaneously driving the second dopant from the doping layer into the semiconductor layer and performing one or more of the processes of at least partially activating the implanted dopant in the implantation region and/or performing at least partial recovery of crystal damage in the semiconductor layer, which crystal damage was produced by the implantation, and/or driving in the first dopant from the implantatio

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, and to a corresponding device, for analyzing chemical or biological samples in which chemical or biological samples and/or targets (probes) are applied in the form of individual defined spots to an outer cylindrical jacket surface of a support, or are aliquoted in the form of fluid droplets into drill holes which are chased in the jacket surface of the support. The support is inserted into a recess in a retainer, which recess is essentially complementary to the cylindrical jacket surface, the samples and/or targets are acted upon by way of physical and/or chemical interactions, and the correspondingly modified spots are then analyzed.

Abstract: System and method for distinguishing at least two types of molecule groups that are bound to analyte molecules and which have different fluorescent characteristics. The system performs differentiation using time-resolved fluorescence measurement and includes a light source that exposes a first sample volume to light that is suitable for exciting the at least two types of molecule groups to fluorescence. The system also includes a detector for detecting fluorescence radiation emitted from a second sample volume that at least partially overlaps the first sample volume, and a control unit that is designed to activate the light source for a time interval T.sub.1 and, after time interval T.sub.2 has passed, to activate the detector for a time interval T.sub.3. According to this system, the illumination and detection of emitted fluorescence radiation is performed at least 1,000 times per millisecond, the detector signals recorded with a recording unit during time interval T.sub.
