C2MI, Université de Sherbrooke, Polytechnique Montréal and Teledyne DALSA collaboration honoured at ADRIQ CelebratingPartnerships event
The sixth edition of Celebrating Partnerships, presented by the Association pour le développement de la recherche et de l'innovation du Québec (Association for the Development of Research and Innovation in Québec — ADRIQ), was held Thursday, May 14, at the Séminaire de Québec in Québec City. The event recognizes successful technology collaborations between Québec researchers and businesses and their partners.
With more than 200 key players in the innovation ecosystem in attendance, awards were handed out to seven exemplary technology partnerships, along with a special “Partnership Engagement” tribute award, presented to Université Laval.
The infrared Imaging (IR) project, the fruit of a partnership between Teledyne DALSA, Université de Sherbrooke, Polytechnique Montréal and the MiQro Innovation Collaborative Centre (C2MI), was among the initiatives honoured. Besides benefiting from the robust synergy generated by academic expertise combined with that of the industrial partners, this partnership boasts world-class facilities for development of sensors, and enables implementation of a wide range of new processes and know-how in fields with strong demand for 3D semiconductor integration and packaging. The project leaders at Polytechnique are Oussama Moutanabbir, Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering Physics, Patrick Desjardins, Professor and Director of the Department of Engineering Physics, and Yves-Alain Peter, Professor in the Department of Engineering Physics.

The IR project is enabling production of a new family of infrared imaging sensors for commercial markets encompassing the full value-added chain: from sensors mounted on silicon wafers to sensors embedded in integrated housings, “engine cameras,” and complete ultra-miniaturized smart cameras, delivering resolutions adapted for high-volume or specialized applications.
The partnership project depends on the collaboration of 45 researchers and some 15 graduate students, and is pointing the way to applications of this technology in a wide variety of new market segments. Although the project is still in its development phase, it has so far led to the creation of eight highly qualified positions.
Our heartiest congratulations!
