摘要:
Methods and apparatus relating to very large scale FET arrays for analyte measurements. ChemFET (e.g., ISFET) arrays may be fabricated using conventional CMOS processing techniques based on improved FET pixel and array designs that increase measurement sensitivity and accuracy, and at the same time facilitate significantly small pixel sizes and dense arrays. Improved array control techniques provide for rapid data acquisition from large and dense arrays. Such arrays may be employed to detect a presence and/or concentration changes of various analyte types in a wide variety of chemical and/or biological processes. In one example, chemFET arrays facilitate DNA sequencing techniques based on monitoring changes in hydrogen ion concentration (pH), changes in other analyte concentration, and/or binding events associated with chemical processes relating to DNA synthesis.

Provided is a manufacturing process for electronic circuit components such as bare dies, and packaged integrated chips, among other configurations, to form electronic assemblies. The surface of the electronic circuit component carries electronic elements such as conductive traces and/or other configurations including contact pads. A method for forming an electronic assembly includes providing a tacky layer. Then an electronic circuit component is provided having a first side and a second side, where the first side carries the electronic elements. The first side of the electronic circuit component is positioned into contact with the tacky layer. A bonding material is then deposited to a portion of the adhesive layer that is not covered by the first side of the electronic circuit component, to a depth which is sufficient to cover at least a portion of the electronic circuit component. The bonding material is then fixed or cured into a fixed or cured bonding material, and the tacky layer is removed. By these operations, the electronic circuit component is held in a secure attachment by the fixed or cured bonding material, and circuit connections may be made.

A method is presented for assembling a component (30) with a flexible substrate (10), the component having electric contacts (31). The method comprises the steps of placing the component (30) on a first main side (11) of the substrate, applying a machine vision step to estimate a position of the electric contacts, depositing one or more layers (32) of an electrically conductive material or a precursor thereof, said layer extending over an area of the substrate defined by the component to laterally beyond said area, calculating partitioning lines depending on the estimated position of the electric contacts, partitioning the layer into mutually insulated areas (32d) by locally removing material from said layer along said partitioning lines. Also an apparatus is presented that is suitable for carrying out the method.In addition an assembly is present that can be obtained by the method and the apparatus according to the invention.
