|I just toured our Microelectronics Research Center(ISU) yesterday and 
|was shown a mask for a chip.  The mask only had one chip on it; not a whole
|wafer's worth of replicates.  Is this just the way it's done in a research
|environment?

Below 1.2u you need to step across a wafer with an image instead of a single
