立法會財委會批5500萬元購相控陣天氣雷達
The Legislative Council Finance Committee has approved an allocation of $55 million for the Hong Kong Observatory to purchase three phased-array weather radars.
The three radars will be installed at Cheung Chau, Lau Fau Shan and Tung Lung Chau respectively. The Observatory said they could form a radar network covering the whole of Hong Kong together with the existing phased-array weather radar at Sha Lo Wan, enhancing its radar image services and the operation of the Rainstorm Warning System. The three phased-array weather radars will also be installed at lower locations, allowing their scanning range to reach down to several hundred metres and providing meteorological information for drones and small aircraft.

孫東催促好趁光刻工具未禁運快撥款 財委會速過28億
Although top mainland technicians can polish surfaces to a roughness of “5 nanometres”, key lithography tools for chip production technology still have to be imported from abroad. The Legislative Council Finance Committee discussed this afternoon the allocation of HK$2.83 billion to establish the Hong Kong Microelectronics Research and Development Institute, focusing on the development of third-generation semiconductors. Equipment for the pilot production line includes lithography tools. Michael Tien of Roundtable asked whether the US election could affect exports of lithography machines. Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry Sun Dong said that I-line lithography tools for third-generation semiconductors were not on foreign embargo lists, repeatedly stressing that the funding had to be approved “quickly”. After just 84 minutes of discussion, the Finance Committee approved the funding by a show of hands without a roll-call vote.
雖然內地有頂級技師可以磨研「5奈米」的粗糙度，不過在生產晶片技術的關鍵光刻工具，仍要靠外國入口。立法會財委會今午討論斥資28.3億元設立「香港微電子研發院」，主攻研發第三代半導體，「中試線」設備包括光刻工具。實政圓桌田北辰關注美國大選會否影響光刻機出口，創科局長孫東表示第三代半導體的「I線光刻工具」不在外國禁運名單，多次強調撥款「時間要快！」結果僅討論84分鐘，財委會就以不記名方式，舉手通過撥款。
