Summary
The National Research Council of Canada’s Canadian Photonics Fabrication Centre in Ottawa makes specialised semiconductor devices used in lasers and optical communications, technologies relevant to AI infrastructure. The facility works with materials including indium phosphide and gallium arsenide and offers customised manufacturing rather than requiring customers to use a standard process design kit. The account says the centre is preparing to transition into a commercial entity.
