Technical Visit During PAC Plenary Meeting at HKSTP

After Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (PAC) Plenary Meeting 2012, Hong Kong Accreditation Service (HKAS) arranged a technical visit to Hong Kong Science and Technology Park (HKSTP). I am honor to be in charge this visit. The participants come from accreditation body of different countries or regions such as Australia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Chinese Taipei, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, UK, USA, etc.

In the beginning, the corporate video was played to introduce the vision and mission of HKSTP. Then I briefed today's visit schedule and our laboratories facilitates to the visitors.

At the end, I introduced the milestone of Certification and Accreditation in Technology Support Centre and the whole HKSTP. Our laboratories had obtained ISO 9001 since 2004. Then we extended our capability to achieve ISO/IEC 17025 (HOKLAS Accreditation) in three laboratories named IC Failure Analysis Laboratory (ICFAL), Material Analysis Laboratory (MAL) and Reliability Laboratory (RL). Moreover, IC Design Centre and IP Serving Centre had achieve ISO/IEC 27001 certification. The whole HKSTP achieved ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001 certification as well.

Then we went to the ICFAL and MAL.

In ICFAL, I briefed our equipment feature and its application such as Focus Ion Beam (FIB), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Scanning Acoustic Microscope (SAM).

In MAL, I mentioned some techniques and equipment such as ToF-SIMS, XRF, XPS, AFM, etc.

After that we went to our IC Development and Support Centre. The clean room was our Probe & Testing Development Centre (PTDC) in which we performed IC packaging test and wafer test.

Lastly, we visited reliability laboratory and I introduced different types of chamber for different reliability test requirement.

After visit the “Professor Charles K. Kao : Father of Fibre Optics” Showcase, we took a group photo in front of "Charles K. Kao Auditorium" (also known as the "Golden Egg").

The last site visit was our Green 18 Building in which employed different environmental concept and technology as a building laboratory to provide information for HKSTP Phase 3 development.

The wind turbine was tested and found it inefficient because of location. So it will not be used in Phase 3 building.

The reflection light mirror was adjustable and used to direct the nature light into the building.

Top view of HKSTP and a swim pool was seen.

The Phase 3 construction site was in process and it was expected to be completed in 2016.
