Royal Philips Electronics will shift the production of its bipolar products from its assembly and test facility in the Philippines to PSi Technologies' Chengdu, China, plant.

The move is part of a long-term supply agreement under which Philips has outsourced power semiconductor assembly and test services to PSi. Transfers will start this quarter and extend to 2005, according to PSi.

The bipolar products, ranging from epitaxial diodes, deflection transistors, damper diodes, triacs and thyristors, will be packaged and tested for Philips and are aimed at China markets.

“By establishing a manufacturing foothold in Chengdu, China, PSi further aligns itself with our strategy to tap into the immense resources available in the region while ensuring that we seamlessly continue to provide customers with best in class: price, quality and delivery of our products,” said Eric-Paul Schat, senior director of power management at Philips Semiconductors, in a statement.

PSi currently provides assembly and test services to Philips in the Philippines.
