Abstract :
This paper first reviews the DNA microarray deposition technology. Different aspects of factory automation for DNA microarray manufacturing are then discussed. Problems, challenges and suggestions for investing factory automation, design, implementation as well as managing automated fab for DNA microarray manufacturing are presented from an industrial automation viewpoint. The purpose is to propose an idea of systematic investment, development and management of factory automation for DNA microarray manufacturing.
