North America&#8217;s Future, One Chip at a Time Great Lakes Semiconductor (GLS) is incorporated in Ontario, Canada, with its headquarters located in Markham, Ontario, Canada. Once fully established, GLS will be a full-scale semiconductor company focusing on developing world-class semiconductor fabrication facilities and technology park ecosystem aimed at addressing critical needs in Canada\u2019s semiconductor industry. GLS initially will include: research, design and development of chips, chip sets, and other mems\/sensor devices; workforce development; establish a pocket fab for prototype and small-lot production; and build a new, state-of-the-art full-scale chip manufacture at 200mm and 300mm process technologies.\u00a0 In collaboration with its strategic partners, such as Canada\u2019s ventureLab, GLS will focus on expanding and securing Canada\u2019s semiconductor supply chain. Our Logo Our logo has true meaning. Consisting of five pieces they represent so much more than a traditional logo.\u00a0 We all have 5 major senses, which is symbolic of the sensors GLS will be primarily manufacturing in our early years of operation.\u00a0\u00a0 Also in Japanese culture, there are 5 elements: Earth, Wind, Fire, Water and the Void. In Chinese and Korean cultures, the 5 elements are: Earth, Fire, Water, Metal and Wood. Our logo was designed keeping all of this in mind, along with other symbolizations\u2026. Hub and Spokes of Great Lakes Semiconductor in Ontario The Hub and Satellite Hub = the Fab\/Technology Park in Pickering (Durham Region) represented by the large red square block in the lower left-hand quarter; and the curved red block in the lower right-hand corner as the Pocket Fab and ventureLabs in Markham. The Spokes = Durham, York, Pelle, Halton, Waterloo, Niagara Red, White (Lines) &#038; Blue for the US and Red for Canada. The white lines also symbolize a chip\u2019s circuitry. Canada\u2019s Maple Leaf Five core elements of the semiconductor manufacturing process: Wafer Fabrication (front end. Processing) Lithography (patterning) Deposition &amp; Etching (thin film processing) Interconnect and metallization Packaging and Testing (back-end processing) The 5 bodies of water that border Ontario: The Great Lakes of &#8211; Erie, Ontario, Superior, and Huron, and the St. Lawrence Seaway. The 8 US States bordering the Great Lakes: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin The 5 major Canadian Indian Nations: Haudenosaunee Confederacy (Iroquois\/Mohawk Confederacy). Anishinaabe Cree Nation. Dene Nation. Coast Salish Nations. The 5 core business principles of Great Lakes Semiconductor: Innovation &amp; integration \u2013 the smooth, rounded edges represent seamless integration of our semiconductor technologies with Canada\u2019s high-tech industry. Collaboration &amp; connectivity \u2013 reflecting the interconnected nature of semiconductor manufacturing and the broader supply-chain ecosystem especially in the technology park. Fluidity &amp; Precision \u2013 inspired by the Great Lakes, the rounded edges could symbolize water, fluidity, and precision engineering in chip fabrication. Balance of tradition &amp; future \u2013 the logo is a modern version of the maple leaf as an element of Canada\u2019s identity, while the rounded edges modernize and soften it for a forward- looking vision.
