Active Silicon Photonics Fabrication workshop. In partnership with the SiEPIC Program and our professors from UBC, Laval, Toronto, McGill and Queen’s Universities, along with FABrIC — a project funded by the Government of Canada and managed by CMC Microsystems, CMC is offering this legendary Silicon photonics workshop again at Queen’s University, Kingston.

This in-person workshop will teach participants how to design, simulate, fabricate, and test photonic integrated circuits (PICs). The participants’ designs will be fabricated using AMF Si Photonics technology, available through CMC Microsystems.
Siemens, Lumerical (now part of the ANSYS family), and Luceda support this course by providing access arrangements to their tools and services for participants (more information below).
