"Our aim is to fill key technology gaps in the market," says ITRI vice-president Johnsee Lee. Lee states that the manufacture of gene chips involves over 200 individual steps, from probe design, probe synthesis, making the chip substrate, probe deposition, and probe fixing, to packaging and preservation.
「我們要做的是彌補市場上關鍵技術的空缺，」工研院副院長李鍾熙表示，基因晶片的製造從探針設計、探針合成、晶片基材、探針佈放、探針固定，到封裝與保存，總共有兩百多個步驟要執行。
