BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 15, 2004--Teradyne, Inc. (NYSE:TER) announced Unisem has purchased Teradyne's FLEX system for their Malaysia test facility to support multiple Fabless companies in Europe and the US. Unisem, headquartered in Malaysia, recently acquired Atlantic Technology of Wales a leading European mixed-signal and RF test and assembly service provider with an existing installed base of Teradyne test systems. The new Teradyne systems ordered by Unisem will expand the Malaysian test house into the mixed-signal business. The multiple system order, including J750 and Catalyst systems, will be used for consumer audio, video and mobile phone device test.

"We selected Teradyne's FLEX because it economically addresses the test needs of all our Fabless customers," said Jeff Baloun, Managing Director, Unisem, Wales. "The system's multi-site test enables us to reduce test costs. Excellent test economics combined with the proven global customer support Teradyne provides our Unisem Wales location, made FLEX and Teradyne a clear choice."

"FLEX is designed to deliver efficient multi-site test and test capacity for our customers - tester utilization means everything to a test house," said Urs Berger, Business Development Manager, Teradyne. "It's exciting to see the more advanced test houses, like Unisem, see the power of FLEX's adaptability in production to meet a wide spectrum of device test needs. Unisem has a customer base that includes many premier emerging technology companies as well as blue chip IDMs, and it is with this challenge that we look forward to continuing our support for their diverse range of customers."
