Advanced Interconnect Technologies Honored by Delphi for Product Excellence

SINGAPORE--April 19, 2004--

  Company Recognized by Automotive Electronics Leader for Product Quality that Exceeds Customer Expectations for the Second Consecutive Year  



Advanced Interconnect Technologies (AIT) today announced that Delphi Electronics & Safety has again recognized the company for its flawless assembly of semiconductor packages used in critical automotive applications. Delphi presented the "2003 Excellence Award" to AIT in recognition of its dedication and commitment to supplying superior-quality products. Delphi's integrated systems and modules are designed to help simplify vehicle manufacturers' processes and meet the demands of today's high-tech vehicles.

"AIT continues to exceed our quality standards for critical automotive applications," said John Glass, director of supplier quality at Delphi Electronic & Safety division. "This award is reserved for companies that deliver the highest quality products and AIT has certainly earned this honor."

In 2003, AIT supplied Delphi with primarily small outline integrated circuits (SOICs). AIT's SOICs, available in 8 to 28 lead counts, are designed for applications that require reduced size and are commonly used in electronic devices such as automotive systems. Other electronic devices that use SOICs include pagers, cordless phones, fax machines, copiers, printers, computer peripherals and A/V products.

"AIT prides itself on its programs and processes that help our customers deliver the highest quality products to their end customers," said SK Yeoh, vice president of quality for AIT. "Delphi's recognition of our efforts validates that we are exceeding the semiconductor industry's most stringent metrics for quality, including ISO 9001, ISO 9002, ISO 14001 and QS9000 certifications."

The award, presented annually, is given to suppliers that demonstrate the highest quality standards over a 12-month period. This year, Delphi selected nine electronics companies and AIT was one of two packaging sub-contractors acknowledged.
