  • Publication number: 20110290182
    Abstract: It is possible to efficiently remove deposited materials such as a conductive film or insulting film adhered to parts such as the inner wall of a processing chamber and a substrate supporting tool disposed in the processing chamber. There is provided a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device. The method comprises: loading a substrate into a processing chamber; forming a conductive film or an insulating film on the substrate by supplying a plurality of source gases into the processing chamber; unloading the substrate from the processing chamber; and modifying a conductive film or an insulating film adhered to the processing chamber by supplying a modifying gas into the processing chamber. After performing a cycle of the loading, the forming, the unloading, and the modifying processes a plurality of times, the modified conductive film or the modified insulating film adhered to the processing chamber is removed from the processing chamber by supplying a cleaning gas into the processing chamber.

  • Publication number: 20110031593
    Abstract: There are provided a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a substrate processing apparatus, and a semiconductor device. The method allows rapid formation of a conductive film, which has a low concentration of impurities permeated from a source owing to its dense structure, and a low resistivity. The method is performed by simultaneously supplying two or more kinds of sources into a processing chamber to form a film on a substrate placed in the processing chamber. The method comprises: performing a first source supply process by supplying at least one kind of source into the processing chamber at a first supply flow rate; and performing a second source supply process by supplying the at least one kind of source into the processing chamber at a second supply flow rate different from the first supply flow rate.

  • Publication number: 20090023139
    Abstract: This invention is intended to provide a protein synthesis system used for producing a tryptophan analogue-containing non-natural-amino-acid-containing protein that satisfies the following conditions: (i) tRNA that transfers a non-natural amino acid is not recognized by an endogenous aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (aaRS); (ii) it is recognized selectively by aaRS exclusive for a non-natural amino acid; and (iii) endogenous tRNA is not recognized by aaRS exclusive for a non-natural amino acid. In the eukaryotic organism-derived cell-free protein synthesis system, a yeast mitochondrial tryptophanyl tRNA synthetase is used in combination with mitochondrial tRNATrp (mt tRNATrp).
