Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To disclose low-dielectric-constant materials, the improvements of the performances of the films including the same materials, and the manufacturing methods thereof when they are used as interlayer dielectrics in integrated circuits. SOLUTION: These materials are characterized in that their dielectric constants (k) are equal to or smaller than about 3.7, and the standardized wall elastic moduluses (E 0 ') are equal to or larger than about 15 GPa which are derived partially from the dielectric constants of the foregoing materials, and their metal-impurity levels are equal to or smaller than 500 ppm. Also, there are given low-dielectric-constant materials having dielectric constants smaller than about 1.95 and having standardized wall elastic moduluses (E 0 ') larger than about 26 GPa which are derived partially from the dielectric constants of the foregoing materials.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a methods, an apparatus, and a system for performing a high-throughput preparation and a screening of salts and polymorphs of drug candidates. SOLUTION: The method is directed toward enhancing the pre-formulation discovery process used for a drug development. In particular, processes of determining suitable salts and processes of discovering substantially every polymorph that can form from a particular drug candidate are provided. The processes are performed using several apparatuses that are specifically configured to carry-out various steps in a high-throughput characterization process. One such apparatus is configured for synthesizing a plurality of library members from, for example, a library model generated by a computer system. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for the synthesis, screening and characterization of an organic metal compound and a catalyst (for example, a homogeneous catalyst). SOLUTION: A method for producing an array of an activated metal ligand compound comprises (a) a process for forming the first metal ligand compound in the first region on a substrate and forming the second metal ligand compound different from the first metal ligand compound in the second region on the substrate to form the arrays of the metal ligand compounds in the prescribed regions of the substrate at a space, and (b) a process for supplying one or more activating substances comprising ionizing agents or alkylating agents to the first region and the second region.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for controlling and monitoring the progress and characteristics of more than one reaction for monitoring and controlling a process and displaying/analyzing data by using a computer. SOLUTION: The apparatus includes more than one vessel 102 for holding the reaction mixture and a system for controlling the rotation speed of a stirring blade 108 and the temperature of each reaction mixture or a group of the mixtures so as to be effective in the synthesis, screening and characterization of combined chemical library and further can include equipment for controlling independently pressures of respective vessels and a system for injecting a liquid to the vessel under the pressure other than the atmospheric pressure. Respective reaction mixtures are monitored, and monitored results are fed back to a process controller, then the data for deciding various characteristics including the reaction rate, product yield, viscosity and molecular weight of the reaction product can be obtained.
Abstract:
The invention relates to methods of using noble metal-free nickel catalysts to generate a hydrogen-rich gas from gas mixtures containing carbon monoxide and water, such as water-containing syngas mixtures, where the nickel may exist in either a supported or a bulk state. The noble metal-free water gas shift catalyst of the invention comprises Ni in either a supported or a bulk state and at least one of Ge, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, Te, Pb, their oxides and mixtures thereof. The invention is also directed toward noble metal-free nickel catalysts that exhibit both high activity and selectivity to hydrogen generation and carbon monoxide oxidation.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for producing a giant magnetoresistive cobalt compound by combined synthesis. SOLUTION: Components are delivered to predetermined regions on a support body, and the components are simultaneously reacted to form at least two materials. Combined synthesis is thereby carried out by using the support body that prepares an array of different materials. Other materials that can be prepared using these methods are covalent network solids, ionic solids and molecular solids. Examples are inorganic, organometallic, intermetallic, ceramic, organic polymeric and composite materials. Once prepared, these materials can be screened for useful properties, thus providing parallel synthesis and decomposition of novel materials having useful properties such as magnetoresistance.
