Hi L.A.,

should have read more carefully, it's not an american 0603, but an american
0201. Sorry! Since we didn't do this kind of parts, I can only refer you to
2 sources of information:

http:\\smtinfo.net
http://www.engentaat.com

I know that both Engent and Universal can help you with the process
development, but I think any major equipment manufacturer could do this for
you.

It is no easy task, I would work it out like this: find a good solution for
manufacturing, get from there the landpattern, orientation and pad to pad
spacing that work and impose this design to your PCB designers.

Regards,
Ioan
