Teledyne MEMS Selected to Support Two FABrIC Challenge Award Recipients

Key Terms

micro-electro-mechanical systems technical

Tiny machines built on silicon that combine mechanical parts, sensors and electronics on a single chip to perform physical tasks like sensing motion, controlling valves, or timing signals. Investors care because these devices enable compact, low-cost products across industries (consumer gadgets, automotive safety, medical devices and industrial sensors), and companies that can design or mass-produce reliable MEMS can scale sales and margins much like a factory that makes a widely used smartphone component.

mems technical

MEMS are tiny machines built on silicon that combine electrical circuits with moving parts—think microscopic sensors, switches and actuators like the small gears in a watch but made with semiconductor manufacturing. They matter to investors because MEMS are key components in smartphones, cars, medical devices and industrial equipment; changes in demand, production cost or technological improvements can directly affect suppliers’ revenues, margins and competitive position.

photonics technical

Photonics is the science and technology of creating, guiding and detecting light, including lasers, optical fibers and sensors; think of it as building and controlling tiny beams of light the way engineers build and route electricity or water through pipes. For investors, photonics matters because it underpins faster communications, precise sensors, advanced manufacturing and medical devices—products and cost savings that can drive revenue growth, competitive advantage and long-term market value.

compound semiconductors technical

Compound semiconductors are electronic materials made from two or more elements combined to create properties silicon alone cannot provide, like higher speed, greater power efficiency or light emission. Think of them as engineered alloys for electronics that enable faster wireless signals, brighter LEDs and more efficient power chips; for investors, they signal technology-driven market opportunities, specialized supply chains and capital-intensive manufacturing that can mean higher growth and higher risk.

quantum technologies technical

Quantum technologies apply the unusual rules of physics that govern very small particles to perform tasks such as vastly faster computing, ultra-sensitive sensing, and highly secure communication. For investors, they matter because they promise step-change advantages that can create new markets or disrupt industries, while also carrying long development timelines, high research costs and significant technical and regulatory risk.

adas technical

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are electronic systems in vehicles that assist the driver with safety tasks. Examples include automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. These systems use sensors and cameras to improve vehicle safety.

EDMONTON, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Teledyne MEMS announced today that it has been selected as the advanced micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) manufacturing partner for two recipients of the latest FABrIC Challenge funding awards announced by CMC Microsystems through the Government of Canada’s FABrIC initiative.

FABrIC (Fabrication of Integrated Components for the Internet’s Edge) is a Strategic Response Fund initiative designed to strengthen Canada’s domestic semiconductor capabilities and accelerate commercialization in areas including MEMS, photonics, compound semiconductors and quantum technologies.

Noze Inc. and Sheba Microsystems Inc. were selected as recipients of FABrIC Challenge funding to advance MEMS-enabled technologies in healthcare and automotive imaging. Noze is developing a high-resolution, scalable silicon aroma sensor for non-invasive, breath-based health monitoring and early disease detection, while Sheba Microsystems is developing MEMS actuators that provide AI-based temperature compensation for enhanced ADAS automotive camera systems, improving image focus and performance across changing environmental conditions.

Teledyne MEMS will support both projects through advanced MEMS process development and manufacturing expertise, reinforcing its role as a key enabler of Canada’s growing semiconductor ecosystem.

“We are proud to support both FABrIC Challenge award winners with Canadian advanced MEMS manufacturing capability,” said Sebastien Michel, Vice President and General Manager, Teledyne MEMS. “These projects demonstrate the strength of Canada’s innovation ecosystem and the critical role advanced MEMS manufacturing plays in healthcare, automotive and next-generation sensing technologies.”

The collaboration further highlights Teledyne MEMS’ commitment to advancing domestic semiconductor innovation and helping Canadian companies scale transformative technologies from development to commercialization.
