(NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today announced a collaboration with Hong Kong Hong Kong (hŏng kŏng), Mandarin Xianggang, special administrative region of China, formerly a British crown colony (2005 est. pop. 6,899,000), land area 422 sq mi (1,092 sq km), adjacent to Guangdong prov. Science and Technology Parks Corp. (HKSTP HKSTP Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation ) to establish the Probe and Test Development Center in the Hong Kong Science Park The Hong Kong Science Park (Traditional Chinese: 香港科學園; Simplified Chinese: 香港科学园 at Pak Shek Kok, Shatin, Hong Kong. The center will provide a wide array of IC testing resources to meet the growing testing needs of the IC design communities in Hong Kong and the surrounding Pearl River Delta The Pearl River Delta Region (PRD) in China occupies the low-lying areas alongside the Pearl River estuary where the Pearl river flows into the South China Sea. Since the "Open Door Policy" was adopted by the Communist Party of China in the late 1970s, the portion of the delta in region. The Pearl River Delta region, the leading electronics manufacturing This article presents a typical manufacturing process of an electronic assembly.

The collaboration between HKSTP and Agilent supports innovation and technology development by providing a standard production-testing platform for application-driven and market-oriented research and product development. The selection of the flexible Agilent 93000 SOC Series platform will enable the center to cover a wide range of IC testing requirements -- including mixed signal, analog, digital and RF -- rounding out HKSTP's comprehensive set of services focused on enhancing productivity and competitiveness in Hong Kong's technology industry. "The Hong Kong Science Park is attracting a growing number of companies both locally and overseas to set up IC design operations in Hong Kong," said S.W. Cheung, vice president of business development and technology support for HKSTP. "The flexibility and scalability of the Agilent 93000 mixed-signal SOC test platform with its global installed base will help meet emerging customer needs in advanced mixed signal and SOC IC design and development. We are confident that the test platform of the 93000 SOC Series model P600 will meet our customers' sophisticated testing requirements." "Agilent is fully committed to supporting HKSTP and its advanced SOC testing technology, as well as the expanding needs of fabless companies in the region," said Pascal Ronde n. 1. (Print.)

"HKSTP will also leverage Agilent's professional technical expertise along with our worldwide experience in meeting customer needs to accelerate time to volume at a competitive cost of test." The Hong Kong IC Design/Development Support Center is scheduled for completion by the end of 2003. It will offer comprehensive services to HKSTP tenants and other IC companies engaged in research and development in Hong Kong, supporting them through the entire IC development cycle, from initial design to production release. When completed, the development support facility will include a well-equipped EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. center, data center, the Probe and Test Development Center, Reliability Laboratory, Product Analysis Laboratory and an IC Design Training Center. It will also provide an MPW MPW Macintosh Programmer's Workshop (Mac OS Software Development Environment) MPW Multi Product Wafer MPW Maine Photographic Workshops (Rockport, Maine) MPW Multiple Plane Wave MPW Multi-Purpose Workstation (Multi-Project Wafer) Shuttle Service, IP (intellectual property) service as well as test/product engineering services through a team of experienced professionals. About the Agilent 93000 SOC Series The Agilent 93000 SOC Series is the industry's fastest growing, lowest cost single, scalable platform with more than 600 installed systems worldwide. The Agilent 93000 SOC Series is designed to meet both the demanding performance and cost challenges of SOC testing. Models are configured to span the widest range of applications that may require ultra-high-speed digital data rates, up to 10 Gb/s, and the broadest range of mixed-signal and RF capabilities. With this range of capabilities, the 93000 SOC Series is the first choice for subcontract manufacturers (SCMs) and the preference for high-volume manufacturing.
