Abstract: Provided are a thin-film photoelectric conversion device of which thickness can be reduced to several tens nanometers (nm) or below, and a method of manufacturing the thin-film photoelectric conversion device. 
     The thin-film photoelectric conversion device includes a metal silicide layer formed on a surface of a silicon substrate by diffusion of a first metal and silicon, a conductive thin-film layer formed on the surface of the silicon substrate in a region where the second metal thin-film layer is laminated, and a silicon diffused portion formed between the metal silicide layer and the conductive thin-film layer near the surface of the silicon substrate by diffusion of silicon nano-particles. Light is irradiated to the metal silicide layer or the conductive thin-film layer each forming a Schottky interface in a direction in which the metal silicide layer or the conductive thin-film layer is laminated on the silicon substrate, thereby generating a photo-induced current between the metal silicide layer and the conductive thin-film layer on the surface of the silicon substrate.

Patent EP-2233494-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BREAKER RONALD
IPC: C12N15/63
Filed: 2003-09-22
Abstract: It has been discovered that certain natural mRNAs serve as metabolite-sensitive genetic switches wherein the RNA directly binds a small organic molecule. This binding process changes the conformation of the mRNA, which causes a change in gene expression by a variety of different mechanisms. Modified versions of these natural "riboswitches" (created by using various nucleic acid engineering strategies) can be employed as designer genetic switches that are controlled by specific effector compounds. Such effector compounds that activate a riboswitch are referred to herein as trigger molecules. The natural switches are targets for antibiotics and other small molecule therapies. In addition, the architecture of riboswitches allows actual pieces of the natural switches to be used to construct new nonimmunogenic genetic control elements, for example the aptamer (molecular recognition) domain can be swapped with other non-natural aptamers (or otherwise modified) such that the new recognition domain causes genetic modulation with user-defined effector compounds. The changed switches become part of a therapy regimen-turning on, or off, or regulating protein synthesis. Newly constructed genetic regulation networks can be applied in such areas as living biosensors, metabolic engineering of organisms, and in advanced forms of gene therapy treatments.
