We keep Canadians and the world connected by pushing the boundaries in photonics and electronics research and the development of new communication and sensor technologies. We work with academia, research organizations and industry to discover, de-risk, develop and commercialize inorganic and organic semiconductor technologies. We manage the Canadian Photonics Fabrication Centre, which is North America's only pure play commercial compound semiconductor foundry offering epitaxy to fabrication services to a global research and industrial client base.
