                     INVITATION TO ATTEND AND PARTICIPATE IN

                               CMC WORKSHOP '92
                   10TH ANNIVERSARY VLSI WORKSHOP AT QUEEN'S

                     Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario
                               June 15-19, 1992


The 10th Anniversary Workshop at  Queen's  University  in  Kingston,  Ontario,
promises  to  be  the  most  dynamic and informative workshop  ever  sponsored
by  the  Canadian  Microelectronics  Corporation   (CMC).   To  celebrate  the
10th  anniversary,  special events  are being  planned for  the  reception  on
Wednesday, June 17, 1992.  On-hand to  celebrate  will  be workshop delegates,
representatives from the university, industry and government sectors  and  the
staff  at  CMC.    This  year, we are also  featuring  a  "Texpo"  (technology
exposition),  which will include a competition component to choose the  winner
of the Canadian Semiconductor Design Association (CSDA) $3,000 study grant and
the winner of the CMC International Travel Award competition. More information
on the Texpo, including  application  forms  for  the competitions,  is posted
separately.

As shown in the preliminary program which follows, the  week  is chock full of
interesting sessions.   The BiCMOS Research Session will allow participants to
hear about progress being  made  by  Micronet researchers preparing the BiCMOS
technology for distribution to Canadian universities;  it will also provide an
opportunity to ask questions about designing  into  BiCMOS.   Participation in
this session will be limited to attendees  from  University  sites licensed by
CMC for the BiCMOS technology.  The feature  session  on  System  Level Design
will feed in to future  CMC activity.  CMC  is  planning  a  major contract to
develop the infrastructure necessary for competitive research in this area and
feedback  during  the  Workshop  session  will have a strong influence on  the
content of the Call for Proposals for the contract.

This  year,  we  are  very  pleased  to  announce  a  choice of one  of  three
specially-designed  courses.  We have also added activities to give the body a
workout:  a golf tournament and a treasure hunt.

We  are  looking  forward  to  seeing  interested  students,  researchers, and
industry and government  representatives in Kingston in June.

                           REGISTRATION INFORMATION


The Canadian Microelectronics Corporation  (CMC)  Workshop '92 will be composed
of  two  parts:    Part   I  -  Microelectronics  Training  and;    Part  II  -
Microelectronics in Action.

Part I participants will have the  opportunity to attend one of three specially
designed courses.  Course choices are:  a two-day Analog Artist Overview course
from June 15-16, a two-day Electric Tool Developers  course,  also running from
June 15-16;  and a three-day VHDL course running  from June 15-17.  Individuals
may apply for more than one course.  Priority preferences  should  be indicated
on the registration form.

Part  I  registration  for  the Analog Artist Course is limited to  10  people.
Registration  limits  for the Electric Tool Developers and the VHDL courses are
set at 20.  Please note that the VHDL course is open to  universities  only and
that  priority will be given to faculty members.  In the first instance, places
will be allocated to universities by a multi-round lottery.  In the first round
of the lottery,  all  participating  universities  will  be given the chance to
secure one place in  each course.  Industry applicants will be entered into the
lottery after all university applications  for  the  specific  course have been
drawn.  Applicants will be notified of the result no later than May 8, 1992.

Part II of Workshop '92 will  be  held from June 17-19, 1992, with registration
