Agilent Technologies' Array Structure Parametric Test Solution Wins Best Product Award from Semiconductor International


SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 29, 2008 -- Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that its N9201A Array Structure Parametric Test Solution won the Semiconductor International 2008 Editor's Choice Best Product Award for excellence in semiconductor manufacturing. The Editor's Choice Best Product Award recognizes proven products that have been acknowledged by users for providing superior performance and capabilities in semiconductor manufacturing.

The Agilent N9201A (http://www.agilent.com/find/N9201A), which significantly reduces the time engineers need to optimize process parameters and maximize yields, has been very well accepted by customers ramping up advanced semiconductor technologies. Introduced in October 2006, the Agilent N9201A speeds up the yield ramp-up phase significantly by allowing engineers to test more structures in less time and with greater throughput. It provides fast parallel measurement of array test structures (both passive and addressable), reducing the time engineers need to optimize process parameters and maximize yields.

"We are very honored to receive this prestigious award," said Minoru Ebihara, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Hachioji Semiconductor Test Division. "This award is especially meaningful to us because we were acknowledged by both our customers and peers in the industry as offering a product that provides superior capabilities that were not previously available in semiconductor manufacturing."
