DOES CUSTOMARRAY HAVE FACTORY-BUILT CONTROLS?
Yes, all CustomArray chips carry a set of factory-built controls including two types of probes: negative controls (NC), and quality controls (QC). In the factory layout, they are positioned as blocks in different areas around the chip. A factory layout scheme with labeled pre-built controls is shown in Figure 4. Several probe blocks are left as ‘no-synthesis’ controls for QC purposes.
