Abstract: This invention describes the advantages of forming integrated biochips including microarrays comprised of tiled assemblies. For a given biochip of this invention, the tiles may have similar or dissimilar properties. Novel, high-speed manufacturing processes are described to assemble such biochips. A preferred embodiment is the use of micro-machined feeders for placing the tiles in the assembly process.
