University-based Microsystems Test Labs
The National Microelectronics and Photonics Testing Collaboratory (NMPTC) is a consortium of locally-managed, university-based laboratories that provides researchers with access to advanced test resources. Research wishing to access these laboratories should contact the Principal Investigators at those sites.
- Academic and non-academic access to some of the NMPTC services is delivered under a user fees structure. Where fees are applicable, the hourly rate is significantly discounted for Canadian academic clients. Consult the lab web pages for details.
- CMC provides travel assistance, granted under a peer review program, for researchers wishing to perform their testing in these labs in person.
- Not a Canadian academic researcher? The NMPTC is open for business on commercial terms. Contact the Principal Investigators at the labs more information.
The NMPTC provides national access to state-of-the-art resources for testing and validation of high-performance microchip and system designs that are hosted at CMC’s partner institutes:
