AFFX does have its own fab, in Santa Clara, that they took over from National Semi, I believe.

They dont need a state of the art fab for these biochips, since the features are larger, on the order of microns rather than fractions of microns, and the chemical processes are totally different from those involved in semiconducter chips.
