Centre for Emerging Device Technologies (CEDT)

• The CEDT has around 250 registered users at this time. Employees of the CEDT were working during phase zero on two essential research projects related to the development of COVID sensors
• The CEDT anticipates requests from its user community for access to equipment. Only fully trained users
  will be considered for access
• Users will be required to book equipment using QReserve, and available bookings will be limited such that strict social distancing requirements can be
  maintained
• The specific maximum limits will be 3 users in the cleanroom (maximum of one user in each area of the cleanroom); 5
  users in the characterization lab (maximum of one user in each area); and 5 users in the TAB Annex (3 on
  level 1, and 2 on level 2

As an organization, the CEDT amounts to a collective of people and pooled resources. Faculty from various departments who have an interest in the resources operated by the CEDT pay on a fee for service basis to use CEDT equipment facilities. As members associated with the CEDT, the faculty and their students are granted access to the CEDT's analytical equipment, and pay special rates for the use of processing and growth facilities. 

The CEDT operates as a collective of shared resources. The people that keep the Centre running include faculty from a number of universities, their students and research associates, full-time CEDT technical staff, as well as industrial collaborators.

The CEDT operates and manages equipment under the three facilities:

• Materials growth
• Fabrication
• Characterization

Rate Structure: Fees are for Canadian University Users.
