A post-secondary institution of learning may become a member of CMC Microsystems if it is located in Canada and principally funded by governments within Canada, whether federal or provincial or municipal or any combination of the same.

Post-secondary institutions will have a demonstrated interest in furthering research and development within the post-secondary or industrial communities and will be interested in fostering interaction in the area of microsystems research, technology and training.

Specific areas of involvement will be in one or more of the following:

  • Design, fabrication, testing or application including one or more of the following:
    • Microelectronics, MEMS, microfluidics, optoelectronics, embedded software or system automation
  • Assembly and or support of microsystems research teams

A post-secondary institution of learning will ideally be involved in sustained research or development or design activity related to microelectronics in Canada, with a significant amount of Canadian content.

For additional information on membership, please contact:

Nancy A. Marlow, Director of Finance and Human Resources, CMC Microsystems: 613.530.4652; marlow@cmc.ca.

Dr. Jayshri Sabarinathan (second from right), Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Western Ontario, is developing microsystems that could help protect our environment. The researcher is combining novel photonic crystal waveguide-based sensors with active optical devices on a single chip, helping to pave the way for the development of practical nanoscale sensors for environmental monitoring and biodiagnostic applications.

"The opportunity to fabricate a photonic device through CMC was essential to our research. Optoelectronic prototyping capability was required to supplement the processes available through the Nano-Fabrication Lab here at Western. We fully expect to continue leveraging the products, services and integration expertise of CMC as we move into the next stage of this project."
