  • Publication number: 20070003433
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a test chip which allows efficient and convenient separation and measurement. This invention provides a measuring chip for separating and measuring a target component in a sample by rotation around first and second axes of rotation. The measuring chip includes a centrifugal separation tube that centrifugally separates the target component from the sample by rotating the measuring chip around the first axis of rotation; a first holding section installed in the bottom of the centrifugal separation tube, wherein non-target components other than the target component in the sample are introduced therein by rotation around the first axis of rotation, and the first holding section holds the non-target components during rotation around the second axis of rotation; and a measuring section connected to one end of the centrifugal separation tube that measures the non-target components introduced from the centrifugal separation tube by rotation around the second axis of rotation.

  • Patent number: 5698036
    Abstract: A plasma processing apparatus comprises a processing container, a waveguide tube for guiding microwaves generated by a microwave generator, and a flat antenna member connected to the wave guide and disposed in the container to face a semiconductor wafer supported in the container. The antenna includes a plurality of short slits concentrically or spirally arranged in the antenna. The slits are spaced apart in the widthwise direction at intervals of 5% to 50% of a guide wavelength of the microwave, and each of the slits has a length of +30% of the guide wavelength centered with respect to half of the guide wavelength.
