Innovation Platform The FABrIC Innovation Platform supports the entire design cycle from concept to prototype to commercialization. Made for researchers in industry and academia, it provides access to computer aided design tools, platform technologies, Intellectual Property (IP), chip manufacturing in Canada and elsewhere, and support for test, characterization, and development of process design kits. The

FABrIC Challenges address the entire innovation chain: Skills development, manufacturing, and commercialization of Made-in-Canada IoT devices. Manufacturing Process Development Reimbursement of up to 50% for eligible R&D expenses incurred in Canadian manufacturing firms for projects that develop new manufacturing processes in MEMS, photonics, compound semiconductor, and superconducting/quantum technologies. Includes financial support and technical assistance for

FABrIC is a  proposed five-year, $200M plus project to secure Canada’s future in semiconductors. FABrIC lowers barriers faced by entrepreneurs in Canadian companies who develop microchip manufacturing processes, create Internet-connected products and services, and export into a global market growing 6-8% annually and expected to reach $1 trillion dollars by 2030 (McKinsey & Company). FABrIC accelerates

Canada’s Semiconductor Ecosystem, Accelerated​ FABrIC is a proposed five-year $200M plus project led by CMC Microsystems and fourteen other founding organizations to secure Canada’s future in advanced semiconductor manufacturing and design. Microchips (chips, integrated circuits, semiconductors) are essential to modern economies and drive innovation in industrial sectors including electrified transportation, healthcare, clean-tech, precision agriculture, and
