  • Publication number: 20180133679
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing semiconductor arrays is provided. A method of manufacturing semiconductor arrays may comprise applying a functionalization layer to a semiconductor wafer surface, depositing probes on the functionalized semiconductor wafer surface, and processing the printed semiconductor wafer into individual semiconductor arrays. The wafer processing steps and array finishing steps may be performed following functionalization and probe deposition in a manner that preserves the integrity of the probes.
