Advantest opens applications for VOICE 2022

The conference will be held in Scottsdale, Arizona, on May 17-18th 2022, with an additional day of interactive technical workshops.

VOICE is a conference for the growing global community of users and strategic partners involved with Advantest's V93000 and T2000 SoC test platforms, memory testers, handlers, test cell solutions, product engineering and technology development. The annual conference brings together semiconductor test professionals representing the world's integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), foundries, fabless semiconductor companies and outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) providers to discuss the latest technology advancements, generate new ideas, share best practices and network with one another.

“We had a phenomenal program at Virtual VOICE 2021 and are all looking forward to an in-person VOICE 2022 conference in Scottsdale,” said Ronald Goerke, chairman of VOICE 2022 and senior consulting manager at Advantest. “Our industry is constantly evolving and VOICE presents an ideal opportunity for semiconductor professionals to reconnect with peers while gaining knowledge on how best to address industry challenges. Our upcoming year’s program looks at current and emerging areas of test, with High Performance Digital entering as a featured topic. This new track will explore the latest test techniques for the ever-increasing power demand in high-end processors and is expected to be hugely popular – an excellent addition to our technology track lineup.”

The learning opportunities at VOICE 2022 will span from technical presentations, keynote addresses, a partners' exposition, technology kiosks and a day of workshops. VOICE Workshop Day offers hands-on sessions covering the latest test methodologies and best practices. For more information about the workshops, visit https://voice.advantest.com/workshop-day/.

Advantest's VOICE 2022 call for papers focuses on nine technology tracks:

• High Performance Digital including solutions addressing artificial intelligence and machine learning, high performance computing, high-end mobile processors and power distribution.
• Emerging New Market Drivers and Trends, such as smart data innovation and big data analytics, secure edge and cloud solutions, secure ID and cyber security, secure cloud, video streaming/telepresence, IoT (wearables, sensors, smart cities and homes), and other hot topics.
• 5G/Millimeter Wave such as 5G communications, WiGig, and wideband radio frequency (RF).
• Factory Automation covering methodologies, tools, and best practices that address the challenges in device production, improving test data quality, reducing test excursion, improving OEE, yield and uptime, and enhancing cost management.
• Parametric Test covering cost of test reduction, throughput improvements, novel test techniques for parametric test or WLR, factory automation and platform correlation techniques.
• Hardware and Software Design Integration to include utilizing the latest hardware and software features, test cells and new test system enhancements.
• Test Methodologies involving the supporting standards and protocols, solutions for the latest testing challenges, cost of test reduction, throughput improvements and time-to-market improvements.
• T2000/T6391 platform for testing automotive controllers, power ICs, sensor cameras, microcontrollers, massive parallelism, and system level testing for SiP, and T6391 display driver for touch and fingerprint sensors.
• Device/System Level Test including specific procedures, multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) testing, next-generation embedded processors, broadband fiber to the home, testing ICs for autonomous vehicles and multi-chip system-in-package devices.

Test developers and engineers can submit their abstracts to be considered for presentation at https://voice.advantest.com/call-for-papers/. Submissions must be received by November 15, 2021. Unlike recent years, this deadline will not be extended. Accepted presenters will be notified on December 21, 2021. Conference attendees will vote for the best papers with winning presenters receiving prizes and awards during the closing ceremonies.
