  • Patent number: 10788817
    Abstract: Provided is a manufacturing process analysis device (30), comprising: a computation unit (31) which computes, in a process in which a manufactured object is manufactured, invariant compliance strengths for each shift time for manufacturing condition values (360) and quality values (361) which are measured in time series; a shift time specification unit (32) which derives, as a specified shift time, a shift time for which the invariant compliance strengths satisfy a baseline; and an analysis unit (33) which analyzes the state of the manufacturing process on the basis of the quality value and the manufacturing condition value for the time which is earlier by the specified shift time than the time at which the quality value is measured.

  • Publication number: 20200272772
    Abstract: Disclosed are an indicator calculation device and the like capable of calculating a preferable evaluation indicator even when a relevance among a plurality of evaluation indicators relating to a target system is unclear. An indicator calculation device executes a predetermined processing on a given range of a plurality of evaluation indicators for a target system and model information representing a relevance between the evaluation indicators and a parameter and, thereby, specifies ranges of the parameter in case that the plurality of the evaluation indicators are within the given range. The indicator calculation device executes a predetermined indicator calculation processing on the specified ranges of the parameter and target model information representing the model information regarding a target evaluation indicator for the target system and, thereby, calculates a characteristic value representing a character of the target evaluation indicator.

  • Patent number: 8124045
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of selectively extracting metallic armchair carbon nanotubes alone from the mixture of carbon nanotubes of mixed chiralities, wherein vacant lattice defects are removed from armchair carbon nanotubes alone using the fact that the vacant lattice defects of zigzag carbon nanotubes are hard to diffuse in the axial direction of nanotubes compared with those of armchair carbon nanotubes. Since vacant lattice defects remaining on zigzag carbon nanotubes are active, the tube structures are easily destroyed and decomposed by oxidation etc. Thus it is possible to extract armchair carbon nanotubes alone from the mixture of carbon nanotubes of mixed chiralities.

  • Publication number: 20060265789
    Abstract: To realize a transistor with a channel and a gate, both being formed with nanotubes, by joining the nanotubes in the form of SP3 bonding, a substrate, on which a pair of source and drain electrodes 27, and a gate terminal 28 are formed, is prepared (Fig. (a)), and then a catalytic layer 20 is formed at the one of the source and drain electrodes 27 (Fig. (b)). A first CNT 23 is formed (Fig. (d)) between the pair of source and drain electrodes 27 by growing the CNT (Fig. (c)) in which the catalytic layer 20 is a core. A second CNT 24 is picked by a holding means 25, and after a cap is eliminated and an opening portion is cleaned using the electron beam as needed, the opening portion is contacted to the side of the first CNT 23, thereby joining the two CNT (fig. (e)). The other end portion of the second CNT 24 is positioned at the gate terminal 28 (Fig. (f)). End portions of the CNT are fixed on the electrodes and the terminal by selectively irradiating metallic ion.
