Corporate Overview
CMC Microsystems provides microsystems researchers with industry-caliber design resources, access to state-of-the-art prototyping technologies, tools for test and support services.
Launched in 1984 through a university, industry and Natural
Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)
initiative, CMC Microsystems has won international acclaim for its achievements
in developing Canada’s capabilities in microelectronics.
Recognizing the need to build competence in microsystems,
CMC now offers products and services that include microelectronics,
micromechanics (usually implemented in the form of microelectromechanical
systems or MEMS), microfluidics, photonics/optoelectronics
and embedded software.
In the current five-year period (2005-2010), CMC Microsystems directs a national program valued at over $175 million (including cash, in-kind contributions, other revenues and value added by CMC). This includes:
- Technology products, services and cash from national
and international
partners and suppliers
- Core funding from NSERC
- Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) grants managed
by CMC through
Queen’s University
- Funding from provincial innovation agencies
CMC delivers innovative and cost-effective services to a
growing community of microsystems researchers that connect 44 universities and one college across Canada, and
presently involves over 3,100 faculty members and graduate students.
A 4th Pillar organization stimulating synergistic collaboration among universities,
companies and government agencies, CMC is a pioneer in developing
creative solutions including Canada-wide Internet-based access
to advanced microsystems testing facilities—at a fraction
of the cost of conventional methods. Over the last five years, CMC delivered a value of $342 million to Canadian universities.
The Result—A Strong Foundation for Innovative Applications, New Products and Companies
The highly qualified graduates, with their many ideas and innovations fostered in the university research environment, form the foundation for new startup companies and stimulate further research and development in Canada's private sector. From 2004-2008, CMC enabled or influenced 28 startups. Over the lastyear, more than 500 graduate students who benefited from CMC moved to positions in Canadian industry.

Corporate Identity
The CMC Microsystems logo represents our corporation to the
world. It is a unique and precise piece of artwork that will
be used throughout on all communications relating to the corporation.
Association with CMC is representative of a high level of
integrity, and as such, it is important that the logo be used
correctly at all times.
While the logo is designed to be flexible and accommodate
most needs, it is not intended to be altered or re-designed
to fit a given application.
Minimum Size of Logo
To maintain proper legibility the logo must be displayed
at a size of no less than 1” wide. Using a smaller size
reduces the logo’s impact and makes it unclear and inappropriate
for general use.
A ‘small version’ of our logo has been created
in order to alleviate any distortion which occurs with the
shrinking of the image. As a general guideline the small version
should be used for any images less than 3” wide, with
the large version being used for anything larger than 3”.
Colour of logo
Our colour formulas are as follows:
| |
Dark Red |
Light Red |
Blue |
| Spot Colours |
Pantone 188 |
Pantone 032 |
Pantone 301 |
| CMYK 4-Colour Process |

R 0, G 51, B 153 |
| Hexidecimal Colour |

Colour formulas must be maintained whenever the logo is re-produced.
Opportunity to Use the Logo
Individuals and organizations outside of the corporation
seeking to use the logo must obtain approval from the Manager
of Communications, to ensure proper and consistent application.
