Abstract: Adsorption at a 1-dimensional planar substrate equipped with a localized chemical inhomogeneity is studied within the framework of a continuum interfacial model from the point of view of interfacial morphology and correlation function properties. Exact expressions for the one-point and two-point probability distribution functions $P_{G}amma(l_{G}amma)$ and $P_{Gamm{a}_1,Gamm{a}_2}(l_{Gamm{a}_1},l_{Gamm{a}_2})$, $l_{G}amma$ being the interface position above a fixed point $Gamma$ of the substrate, are derived for temperature corresponding to the inhomogeneity's wetting transition. It is demonstrated that in the limit of macroscopic inhomogeneity's size the net effect of the remaining homogeneous parts of the substrate on the interfacial morphology above the inhomogeneity is exactly equivalent to appropriate pinning of the interface at its boundaries. The structure of the average interfacial morphology and correlation function in this limit are discussed and compared to earlier results obtained for systems with homogeneous substrate.
