A bi-weekly update on Canada's National Design Network,
stimulating microsystems research & development, and linking people with technology.
Prove your sensors and actuators with multi-user MEMS processes 
CMC’s multi-project wafer service delivers the MUMPs technology, through a partnership with MEMSCAP Inc. Access PolyMUMPs, a triple polysilicon, single metal surface micromachining process, or SOIMUMPs, which provides a thick 10μm or 25μm SOI structural layer with small minimum feature size (down to 2μm). To support your design efforts, we provide access to design kits for CoventorWare and MEMS Pro, as well as a design handbook. Review more on these processes

Tell us about your test and measurement requirements
We're seeking community input on new instruments to augment the CMC-supported Test Equipment Pool, which makes resources available to researchers on a short-term loan basis. What capabilities would you like to see added to the pool? Which instruments would help you with your research? We’d like to hear from you - please contact Mariusz Jarosz, Test & Packaging Engineer.
Download our customizable Ethernet IP and accelerate the development of embedded system designs
The package includes full source code, a reference design and user guide that enable rapid development of networking-based embedded system designs and applications. By working with a full-featured gigabit Ethernet media access controller core, students are exposed to commercially developed, pre-validated source code IP and have a working reference design.

To help you get started, we provide a user guide and engineering support. Read more and then download the package.
Simulate, verify and implement your SystemC code
Gain access to Forte Cynthesizer, a SystemC design and implementation environment. Cynthesizer allows you to explore various architectural options and create a suitable testbench for verification in SystemC. Leave your testbench in SystemC and synthesize your hardware design into Verilog, then co-simulate the two languages with Cynthesizer and Cadence NC-Verilog.

With a CMC Designer Subscription, you now get access to three design tool passes at no additional cost -  you may include Forte as one of your choices. Learn more about this tool
