Abstract
A thermal cycle includes: increasing a temperature from an initial temperature to a temperature Tat an arbitrary rate R(° C./sec); holding the temperature at the temperature Tfor an arbitrary period t(sec); increasing the temperature from the temperature Tto a temperature Tat a rate R(° C./sec) of 1.0×10(° C./sec) or less; and holding the temperature at the temperature Tfor a period t(sec) of 50 msec or less. The thermal cycle thereafter includes: decreasing the temperature from the temperature Tto the temperature Tat a rate R' (° C./sec) of 1.0×10(° C./sec) or less; holding the temperature Tfor an arbitrary period t(sec); and decreasing the temperature from the temperature Tto a final temperature at an arbitrary rate R′ (° C./sec). Such a thermal cycle is successively repeated in a plurality of iterations.
