What We Do

CMC Microsystems delivers a consistent set of industry-calibre tools, technologies and support as part of its national program that make microsystems research and development possible in universities across Canada.

Our core competencies differentiate CMC from other national and international organizations and underpin a new and accelerated approach to microsystems research and technology development and increased commercialization that will garner greater economic and social benefit for Canadians.

In the second decade of the 21st century, microsystems will be a vital transformational technology for Canada in creating economic value. Microsystems are commonly understood to be comprised of a number of technologies: electronic, photonic, mechanical and fluidic, which may be integrated, together with embedded intelligence and wireless network connectivity, to achieve the smallest, lowest power, highest performance solutions to a wide variety of problems in all the economic sectors which have been identified as priorities in Canada.
