{FIRST_NAME},
Welcome to the July edition of the CMC Monthly Client Bulletin. This edition is focused on upcoming competition deadlines and an important announcement that affects our clients who use our current 90 nanometre CMOS fabrication service. Any and all feedback is welcome and we look forward to hearing from you at feedback@cmc.ca.
The CMC application note library is available exclusively to CMC clients and currently consists of more than 70 documents. The following documents are new this month:
- System-Level Design and Modeling of a MEMS Gyroscope Using Coventorware
- Using CoWare Processor Generator and Processor Debugger to Stimulate a Processor Model Written in LISA ADL
- Configuring, Building and Running Linux 2.6 on BEE2 with BusyBox User Environment

Product Updates:
Microelectronics-Client Notice
STMicroelectronics 90nm CMOS technology, sourced through CMP, will not be available after July 2009. Following consultation with many users, CMC will be replacing this product offering with TSMC's 90nm CMOS technology with the first run scheduled for November 2009. Please note that researchers who require simulation results only can continue to use the STMicroelectronics technology. For more information on how to access this new service, please visit the help page on CMC's Client Gateway.
- Short-Term Equipment Loan
CMC Microsystems has a pool of equipment that is
available to researchers on a short-term (3 to 6 months) loan basis.
For more details on this program please visit our Client Gateway.
CMC Microsystems also supports test equipment and software on a long-term (5+ years) loan basis (at most CMC Microsystems member universities). The selection of equipment will vary between sites and may include items specific to a research area (RF, mixed signal, digital, optical, etc.). To learn more about eligible Member Universties or what equipment is available at your university, contact your CMC Microsystems Member Representative or technical representative.
Lab-In-A-Box for Microfluidics Research
This portable laboratory can be transported to a research site and quickly configured to carry out research in this technology.
Research disciplines that might be interested in this equipment include chemistry, biology, medicine, and environmental science for applications such as biological agent monitoring/tracking, and food/soil/water studies.
The lab equipment that comprises this portable lab is contained in two
rugged, wheeled carts, shipped as a pair, that also serve as lab-bench
surfaces once the system is set up; the set-up time is about ½ hour.
For more information on the specifications and conditions of the loan,
please visit our Client Gateway.
Carrier Platform for Microfluidics Research and Prototyping
The Carrier Platform is intended for a research community that spans multiple engineering and science disciplines (electrical, mechanical, bio-medical, chemical engineering, chemistry and materials science) that may have cross-disciplinary research interests and connections to life sciences. It is a tool which may be used to perform research and system development in the field of microfluidics.
This Carrier Platform is aimed at users who is interested in leading-edge research into some aspect of microfluidics and microsystem technology and has an advanced knowledge of the specific microfluidic technology which they wish to develop. However, the platform seeks to simplify the task of implementing that novel technology in a prototype system.
For more information on the specifications and conditions of the loan, please visit our Client Gateway.
- Specialized Test Labs
The National Microelectronics and Photonics Testing Collaboratory (NMPTC) enables remote access to advanced test laboratories through the Internet, bringing world-class microelectronics and photonics test tools and techniques online for researchers at 22 Canadian universities.
It provides national access to the best available resources in the world for testing and validation of high-performance microchip designs at the levels of speed and complexity that the technology makes possible. Four specialized test laboratories host the test equipment:
- The Advanced Photonics System Lab at Queens University
- The Advanced Mixed-Signal Systems Lab at McGill University
- The Advanced Digital Systems Lab at The University of Toronto
- Temperature Stress Testing Equipment Available. Click Here for more information
- The Advanced RF Systems Lab at teh University of Manitoba
