The Silicon Electronic-Photonic Integrated Circuits (Si-EPIC) program proposes to train students across Canada in the new discipline of information and communication technology (ICT) systems that integrate TRANSISTOR CIRCUITS (well established computer technology that manipulates information using electrical signals) with OPTICAL CIRCUITS (new technology that extends optical communication concepts down to the semiconductor chip level, allowing information to be processed and transmitted directly using light). These new integrated electronic/photonic systems represent the next quantum leap in information processing hardware. The optical communications industry currently consists of manufacturers of discrete components and vendors that assemble these into systems. The success of the electronics industry arose from its ability to integrate millions of devices on a single platform using stable and repeatable manufacturing: this will soon include both electronic and optical (photonic) components. Our proposal is focused on NSERC's Strategic Target Area - ICT - where "Canadian researchers must approach innovation from a systems perspective: as a chance to integrate technologies..." and research must provide "accelerated speed-to-market."

硅电子光子集成电路（Si-EPIC）计划旨在培养加拿大各地的学生学习集成晶体管芯片的信息和通信技术（ICT）系统的新学科。（使用电信号处理信息的成熟计算机技术）（将光通信概念扩展到半导体芯片级的新技术，允许直接使用光处理和传输信息）。这些新的集成电子/光子系统代表了信息处理硬件的下一个飞跃。光通信行业目前由分立元件制造商和将这些元件组装成系统的供应商组成。电子行业的成功源于其使用稳定和可重复的制造将数百万设备集成在单个平台上的能力：这将很快包括电子和光学（光子）组件。我们的建议是集中在NSERC的战略目标领域-信息和通信技术-其中“加拿大研究人员必须从系统的角度来对待创新：作为一个机会，整合技术...研究必须提供“加速上市”。"
