TOKYO, Japan, Oct. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading semiconductor test equipment supplier Advantest Corporation (TSE: 6857) has issued an international call for papers for its VOICE 2022 Developer Conference focusing on leading-edge technologies and advanced test trends. The conference will be held in Scottsdale, Arizona, on May 17-18, 2022, with an additional day of interactive technical workshops.
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 brings together 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, 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/.
