%N Determinant of n X n matrix containing the first n^2 semiprimes in increasing order.

%C Semiprime analog of A067276 Determinant of n X n matrix containing the first n^2 primes in increasing order. The first column contains the first n semiprimes in increasing order, the second column contains the next n semiprimes in increasing order, etc. Equivalently, first row contains first n semiprimes in increasing order, second row contains next n semiprimes in increasing order, etc. See also: A118713 a(n) = determinant of n X n circulant matrix whose first row is A001358(1), A001358(2), ..., A001358(n) where A001358(n) = n-th semiprime.
