             ALLOCATION OF LIMITED ACCESS MANUFACTURING RESOURCES
                     PROCESS REVIEW - REQUEST FOR FEEDBACK


In March  of  this  year,  the  Canadian  Microelectronics  Corporation  (CMC)
introduced, on a  trial basis, a silicon allocation review process for limited
access technologies.  The process, details of which can be found in CMC report
ICI-041:    Allocation of Limited  Access  Manufacturing  Resources  -  CMOS4S
(available via AIM, Ref# RE0153), is  currently  being  applied to submissions
for CMOS4S fabrication but is structured to  be  applicable  to any technology
designated by CMC as "limited access".  

A review of the allocation arrangements is scheduled  for  December,  1992 and
feedback is being solicited from anyone who has an opinion (positive, negative
or ambivalent) on the process.  We are particularly keen  to  hear  from those
grad   students,  researchers  or  professors,  who  have  either  had  direct
experience of  the  arrangements or who have  been dissuaded from applying for
CMOS4S area because the process was in place.   Comments should be received by
CMC by November 30, 1992 and can be made by e-mail, fax, telephone, mail or in 
person to:
		
     		     Lynda Moore
		     Manager, Administration
                     Canadian Microelectronics Corporation
		     210A Carruthers Hall
		     Kingston, Ontario
		     K7L 3Y5

		     Tel: 	(613) 545-2914
		     Fax: 	(613) 548-8104
		     E-mail:    moore@cmc.ca

Feedback is also being  sought  from the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) of
CMC  at its  December 7, 1992  meeting.   If you are fortunate enough  to have 
contact with a member of the TAC (membership listed below) and you:  miss  the 
November 30  deadline;  prefer  face-to-face  contact  with  someone  when you
deliver  feedback;  or  are simply  hesitant about  submitting  your  comments
directly to CMC - feel free to grab your TAC contact and pass your feedback on
to him or her.  

Your views can significantly influence the future  of  the silicon  allocation  
review  arrangements.  This in turn could have considerable impact on research 
activity. Please take the time to make your feelings known.
