Target fabrication

One of the most promising applications of MIPs is the fabrication of chips with microarrays containing several selective polymers against different targets. Fabrication of such platforms will extend the application and the commercial impact of such materials to many different areas where multianalyte capability is a must. Nevertheless, further efforts are still needed to optimize fabrication of localized polymer structures, avoiding problems related to long term stability of the biomi-metic material, MIP deposition, and transducer coupling.

All shells must be uniform in thickness within 1% and the inner and outer surfaces of each spherical shell must be concentric within 1%. No warts or dents greater than 150 A in height or depth can be tolerated. A more detailed discussion of target design and the methods of target fabrication is beyond the scope of this article but further information can be found in References 4-20.

By reactive sputtering, many complex compounds can be formed from relatively easy-to-fabricate metal targets, insulating compounds can be deposited using a d-c power supply, and graded compositions can be formed, as described. The process, however, is compHcated. 

Alternative Thin-Film Fabrication Approaches. Thin films of electronic ceramic materials have also been prepared by sputtering, electron beam evaporation, laser ablation, chemical beam deposition, and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). In the sputtering process, targets may be metal... 

Aside from technology developments, there is always a major emphasis on value added services. It includes the design concept to fabricator that continually tries to find ways to augment or reduce steps during manufacture with the target of reducing costs. 

Quality system regulation The past good manufacturing practice (GMP) and process validation (PV) was renamed to quality system regulation (QSR). It is important for the medical device industry (that uses an extensive amount of plastics) and also in other product industries where they want to follow strict processing procedures. It sets up an important procedure for many plastic fabricators to consider that targets to ensure meeting zero defects.
