Quebec Premier Jean Charest and the Honourable Christian Paradis, Federal Minister of Public Works and Development announced a major commitment of funding to establish a microelectronics innovation centre at the University of Sherbrooke. The centre will be established in a facility in Bromont, Quebec. It will assemble 250 university and industry researchers to conduct R&D on packaging the next generation of microchips. Its role will be to choose technologies for cutting out microchips, linking them electronically to innovative packages (like 3-D packages), managing heat dissipation and testing them for shipment. The centre will also work on designing packages for future generations of microelectronic systems such as MEMs. Read the news release regarding this announcement here.
