Verigy (NASDAQ:VRGY), a leading semiconductor test company, today
announced that Suzhou CAS (Chinese Academy of Science) Integrated
Circuit Design Center (SZICC), a full-service IC design, test and
training facility, has purchased a Verigy V93000 SoC tester. The
system will be used to support the test requirements of the growing
number of local fabless companies. SZICC, an Engineering Test
Center sponsored by the Chinese government, is part of the
fastest-growing science park in China and a key element of the
country�s efforts to grow and support an indigenous semiconductor
supply chain in the Suzhou area. As the first center in the area to
provide professional IC testing services, the SZICC also plays a
critical role in training local engineers. The V93000 with Pin
Scale 400 and MB AV8 multi-band audio/visual cards will allow SZICC
to accurately and cost-effectively test a wide variety of SoC
devices for a range of applications, including high-volume consumer
devices such as digital TV and portable media players (PMP). �The
V93000 tester is a valuable addition to our offering for the local
fabless customers,� said Xin Yu Liu, general manager, SZICC. �In
addition, access to this leading test platform from Verigy is an
important opportunity for many engineers in the local area who come
to us for training.� �The beautiful Suzhou region has quickly
become a vital part of China�s semiconductor industry, with leading
manufacturers establishing a local presence here, along with the
emerging start-ups,� said Pascal Ronde, vice president of sales,
service and support, Verigy. �We are proud to work with SZICC and
to contribute to the continued growth of the semiconductor
ecosystem here.� About the Verigy V93000 The Verigy V93000 provides
