WATERLOO, Ontario - June 14, 2011 - Teledyne DALSA will present at the Nanotech Conference & Expo 2011 in Boston, MA on June 15, 2011 regarding the progress of the MiQro Innovation Collaborative Center (C2MI) as it enters its final phase of construction.

The presentation will highlight the features of the center and its research labs, as well as identify who will be eligible to join the innovation center. Christian Veilleux, Project Manager, will discuss the MEMS industry challenges that Teledyne DALSA will address through research at the center, located in Bromont Quebec.

"Teledyne DALSA has taken a leadership role in the specification, installation and ongoing operational responsibility for the MEMS and Wafer Level Packaging (WLP) related equipment of the center," Veilleux noted. "I am very pleased with the collaboration of our partners as we work to complete construction."

The purpose of the center, supported by the Government of Canada, the Quebec Government and additional partners, is to create a global center of excellence for commercialization and research in 200 mm-based microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and 3D WLP as well as advanced technologies associated with the assembly and packaging of silicon chips.
