For the project carried out in partnership with École de technologie supérieure on the printing and assembly of copper circuits that withstand JEDEC reliability tests, C2MI received the “Best Research Project” award.
Christophe Sansregret (C2MI) and Sylvain Cloutier (ÉTS) proudly received the award on behalf of the entire team who worked on this new technology.
As a member of the Semiconductor Climate Consortium, we recognize the challenges of climate change and the role our industry can play in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in our own operations, in our value chains and in other industries through the technologies we implement. C2MI membership is part of an international collaboratives effort that has the potential to make a difference in GHG reduction.
On November 7, we accepted the Gold Award in the Excellence, Innovation and Wellness category from Excellence Canada. It is an honour for our team to receive this award, which demonstrates the importance of everything that has been put in place over the past 10 years in terms of governance, leadership, strategies, employee mobility and overall well-being.
On June 21, 2022, the Université de Sherbrooke received $17 million in funding to support the first phase of its C2MI expansion project. An expansion project of more than 3,000 m2 that will also include the acquisition of equipment and the installation of specialized laboratory rooms.
Recognition evening on September 10, 2022, to mark the 10th anniversary of C2MI. During the evening, there were many special moments to recognize the builders and contributors who have made the Centre possible.
On October 6, 2022, creation of the very first Chair in Microfabrication and Integration by the Université de Sherbrooke and the C2MI. Chairholder Serge Écoffey is also a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering and specializes in microfabrication, integration and microelectronic devices.
The Canada Awards for Excellence is the country’s foremost recognition of organizational excellence. C2MI is a Gold recipient in the Excellence, Innovation and Wellness category.
“Because excelling is one of our organization’s values, this award confirms that our constant concern to question ourselves, even when things are going well, and above all to innovate both in the products and processes we develop, and in our ways of doing and thinking, enables us to constantly push back our own limits.” Marie-Josée Turgeon, C2MI CEO.
On November 18th, Pierre Fitzgibbon, Minister of the Economy and Innovation, awarded a Grande Mention to Marie-Josée Turgeon, General Manager of the Centre de Collaboration MiQro Innovation (C2MI).
The Performance Quebec Awards are the highest distinction awarded annually by the Quebec government to private companies and public organizations that stand out for the quality of their management and their overall performance.
On November 18, 2021, we received the Grande Mention Award at the Prix Performances Québec Gala at the Palais des Congrès in Montreal. The unveiling of the Grande Mention recipient was presented by Premier François Legault and the award was presented by Mr. Pierre Fitzgibbon, Quebec Minister of Economy and Innovation.
Développement économique Canada has awarded the C2MI $5 million in financial support. This investment will enable the C2MI to set up state-of-the-art equipment for the manufacture of microsystems, the integration of optoelectronic components and the printing of electronic circuits by screen printing in order to accelerate the development of new processes and products.
The CECR program has enabled C2MI to financially support 45 innovative projects.
On November 25th, AEPONYX, in partnership with the C2MI won the PARTNERSHIP AWARD at the 31st Innovation Awards Gala presented by the ADRIQ.
The award-winning partnership, initiated in 2014 involved close collaboration between Aeponyx, 4 universities, 1 CCTT and C2MI. The development was carried out at C2MI on industrial equipment at the cutting edge of MEMS technologies and allowed to accelerate the development of an innovative product and ensure its transfer to high volume production.
Alain Renaudin, Director, Business Development, received an award for the best presentation at the MEMS & SENSORS Technical Congress for his presentation: “PROfessional expertise for sucCESS”. This presentation explained how the C2MI process accelerates the development and commercialization of microelectronic components for digital technologies through the experts who contribute to it.
We agreed to reduce the mowing areas in favor of natural biodiversity. This reduction will have allowed :
- Promote biological diversity by creating habitats, feeding and breeding grounds;
- Allow flora to complete their germination cycle and benefit pollinators;
- Enhance ecosystem resilience, especially in the face of climate change;
- Improve stormwater retention in the soil;
- Combat ragweed proliferation through competition between plants;
- Reduce air pollutants and greenhouse gases emitted by mowing equipment.
- The addition of a flower bed of 100 m2 composed of melliferous flowers
On January 16, the Université de Sherbrooke and IBM Bromont renewed their partnership with the NSERC-IBM Canada Industrial Research Chair in High Performance Heterogeneous Integration and launched a complementary collaborative research and development (CRD) project in support of the Chair. The two projects launched benefit from an investment of more than $6M funded by NSERC, Prompt, IBM and UdeS.
On October 27th, the Université de Sherbrooke announced the NSERC-Teledyne DALSA Industrial Research Chair for MEMS and next generation microphotonics. This Chair aims to develop and improve materials, manufacturing processes and applications for tomorrow’s microsystems and microphotonics.
We removed all single-use materials in the cafeteria such as; plastic utensils (3,600 forks, 3,600 spoons, 3,600 knives per year), milk cups (24,500 Per year), cardboard cups (24,500 per year), Styrofoam dish (1,470 per year), plastic straws and stirrers (6,000 coffee stirrers + 6,000 straws per year), water bottles (3,600 per year).
