摘要:
A method of forming an integrated circuit layer material is described, comprising depositing a layer of templates on a substrate, said template including a first binding site having an affinity for the substrate, a second binding site having an affinity for a target integrated circuit material and a protecting material coupled to the second binding site via a labile linkage to prevent the binding site from binding to the target integrated circuit material; exposing the template to an external stimulus to degrade the labile linkage; removing the protecting material; and binding the integrated circuit material to the second binding site.

An inspection system for creating images of a substrate. A light source directs an incident light onto the substrate, and a light source timing control controls a pulse timing of the incident light. A stage holds the substrate and moves the substrate under the incident light, so that the substrate reflects the incident light as a reflected light. A stage position sensor reports a position of the stage, and a stage position control controls the position of the stage. A time domain integration sensor receives the reflected light, and a time domain integration sensor timing control controls a line shift of the time domain integration sensor. A control system is in communication with the light source timing control, the stage position control, and the time delay integration sensor timing control, and sets the pulse timing of the incident light, the position of the stage, and the line shift of the time delay integration sensor, such that a single line of the time domain integration sensor integrates reflected light from more than one pulse of the incident light from the light source.

A high throughput chemical synthesis system utilizing cylindrical reaction vessels is disclosed. Reaction vessels are utilized which include a tubular member adapted for placement of electronically readable identifying indicia thereon. The identifying indicia are representative of reaction conditions within the tubular member and of one or more reagents utilized in a reaction within the tubular members. A method of performing chemical synthesis on solid phase reactive material within a plurality of reaction vessels using a plurality of reaction stages resulting in final products and employing identifying indicia representing the reaction stages is also disclosed. The method includes reading the identifying indicia located on the reaction vessels, reacting one or more reagents within the reaction vessels under particular reaction conditions which may be determined by reading the identifying indicia, thereby synthesizing chemical compounds within the reaction vessels. The method allows chemical synthesis to occur according to a predetermined set of reactions and also allows for combinatorial chemistry to be performed utilizing random mix and split techniques. The final synthesized products may be tested for chemical or biological activity. The chemical structures of desired end products may be obtained by reading recorded information wherein the reaction conditions and reagents of reaction steps have been recorded, preferably in conjunction with the identifying indicia.
