LogicVision And SiidTech Form Strategic Alliance to Explore Silicon Fingerprinting Usage and Embedded Test

San Jose, Calif., August 20, 2002 - LogicVision, Inc., (NASDAQ:LGVN), a leading provider of embedded test solutions for integrated circuits and systems, today announced a strategic partnership with SiidTech Inc., a pioneer and provider of the die identification technology, Silicon Fingerprinting™. The partnership will explore the advancement, utilization and potential of silicon fingerprinting and embedded test in application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and system on chip (SoC) technologies and revenue opportunities in silicon die ID and embedded test.

SiidTech's innovative technology provides the ability to identify uniquely each silicon die whether on a wafer or packaged. This capability - based on the same principle of human fingerprinting that no two silicon dies are the same - provides for many tracking and functionality options not possible with current ID and tracing methodologies. This technology, combined with embedded test, can provide test and yield management possibilities well beyond the wafer level to packaged parts. Complementary applications between the two companies include enhancing yields, significantly reducing debug and final test times, and more efficient field diagnostics. Combining SiidTech's Fingerprinting technology with LogicVision's embedded test could have a profound effect on closing the gaps between chip design, chip manufacturing through to systems development.

Mukesh Mowji, vice-president of sales and marketing at LogicVision, said, "Our partnership with Siidtech reflects our ongoing drive to expand the markets currently served by LogicVision and our embedded test solutions. Our goal is to create new applications for our customers, which add value throughout the entire design and manufacturing process. With SiidTech's fingerprinting die identification our mutual customers will not only be able use the unique information to correlate with embedded test data but also to use this information in their end applications."

"Partnering with the leading embedded test provider, LogicVision, enables us to explore technological possibilities that we couldn't with another provider," noted Steve Sapiro, vice-president of marketing at SiidTech. "These types of collaborations are thrilling because they often spawn new ways to look at old problems, or the next 'big thing' in our industry."
