Through national and international partnerships,
CMC provides microsystem designers with access to the best
foundries in the world for the manufacture of prototypes,
enabling researchers to prove their concepts. For
researchers, the opportunity to fabricate a design validates
theories, guides further work and raises the credibility of
the research in publications. Prototypes
are critical precursors to commercialization as proof-of-concept
is required to move research to product.
CMC supports a variety of fabrication technologies:
- Several microelectronics processes, from mature to leading-edge,
to enable digital, analog, RF, mixed-signal designs
- Microelectromechanical (MEMS)
- Microfluidics
- Optoelectronics

Engineers work in the "wet decks"
of Micralyne Inc. in Edmonton, Alberta to develop and
manufacture miniaturized components that enable radical
improvements in bioanalysis, telecommunications, and automotive
instrumentation. The Canadian MEMS company has partnered
with CMC and five university researchers to manufacture
the first "microfluidic chips" for biomedical
applications. |
CMC's manufacturing services include Design Rule Checking
for microelectronics designs, and manufacturability checks
for all technologies. Manufacturing runs take place according
to a set schedule.
