APPLICATIONS

  - Fluor. Microscopy DNA Micro Arrays
    Fluor. Microscopy DNA Micro Arrays
    
    Microarrays are versatile tools for high throughput screening. Nevertheless they are severely limited. Therefore the idea arose why not to copy microarrays? Why not make DNA, RNA and protein microarrays as high quality copies of a high quality original? It worked fine for text books and images. So why not apply it for DNA? Why not build a biomolecule copying machine? A biomolecule xeroxer?

Despite great improvements in the material quality of SiC substrates and epitaxial wafers within the last years, critical defects like stacking faults (SFs) and basal plane dislocations (BPDs) can still lead to bipolar degradation and finally to complete failure of the device.
