Advantest Announces Call for Papers for VOICE 2023 Developer Conference in Santa Clara, California

VOICE is the leading 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 unites semiconductor test professionals representing the world’s leading integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), foundries, fabless semiconductor companies, and outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) providers to discuss the latest technology advancements and network with peers.

“Following the success of last year’s event, VOICE 2023 will provide attendees with another valuable opportunity to discuss the latest test trends and technologies with peers from various semiconductor-related companies across the globe,” said Matt Borto, General Chair of VOICE 2023 and Senior Manager, Test Engineering at Analog Devices. “We have planned a rich technical program for the May 2023 Developers Conference, focusing on relevant topics such as 5G, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and new test methodologies. These emergent technologies present new challenges, and VOICE provides a great environment for industry professionals to gather and discuss how to best tackle these challenges and drive the industry forward.”

VOICE 2023 will offer learning opportunities such as technical presentations, keynote addresses and technology kiosks. Advantest’s VOICE 2023 call for papers focuses on these technology tracks and suggested topic areas:

• 5G/Millimeter Wave — 5G communications, WiGig and wideband Radio Frequency (RF)
• High-Performance Digital — Solutions addressing Artificial Intelligence (AI), High-Performance Computing (HPC), high-end mobile processors and power distribution

• Factory Automation— Methodologies, tools, and best practices that address the challenges in device production including improving test data quality, reducing test excursion, improving OEE, yield, uptime and cost management

• Parametric Test — Cost of test reduction, throughput improvements, novel test techniques for parametric test or WLR, dynamic and predictive test flows and platform correlation techniques
• Hardware & Software Design Integration — Utilizing the latest hardware and software features, test cells and new test system enhancements
• Test Methodologies — Supporting standards and protocols, solutions for the latest testing challenges, cost of test reduction, throughput improvements and time to market improvements
• T2000 — Automotive controllers, microcontrollers, power ICs, sensor cameras, massive parallelism, system level testing for SiP, and display driver testing
• Hot Topics — New market drivers and future trends, Machine Learning (ML), smart data innovation, big data analytics, secure ID and cyber security, secure cloud, video streaming/telepresence and IoT (wearables, sensors, smart cities and homes)
• Device/System Level Test — 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
