CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 

Scope

The IEEE VLSI Test Symposium explores emerging trends and novel concepts in the testing of integrated circuits and systems. The symposium is a leading international forum where many of the world’s leading test experts and professionals from both industry and academia join to present and debate key issues in testing. VTS 2016 addresses key trends and challenges in the semiconductor design and manufacturing industries through an exciting program that includes Keynote and Plenary Talks, Technical Paper Sessions, Embedded Tutorials, Panels, Hot Topic Sessions, Half-day Tutorials, and the Innovative Practices Track.

Program Highlights

The core of VTS 2016, the three day technical program, responds to the many trends and challenges in the semiconductor design and manufacturing industries, with papers and contributions covering a diverse and seminal set of topics including: Analog, Mixed-Signal & RF Test; ATPG & Test Compression; Memory Testing, test Quality and Yield Optimization, Delay and Performance Testing; Reliability; Low Power, SOC testing, Test Applications: Hardware Security and Microfluidics BioChips, Thermal Issues in Test, Emerging Technologies for Hardware Security, Test Implications and Challenges in Near-Threshold Computing, Cell Aware testing, Post Production Tuning in RF Circuits, Innovations in Board Testing, Managing Lifetime in Manycore Systems, New emerging topics Hardware Security; System Validation and Silicon Debug; test and Fault Tolerance in Approximate Computing; 3D IC Test and IEEE 1687 Implementations. 

In addition to the three-day paper sessions, VTS 2016 features several special sessions: including three regular panels and one plenary, wine-and-cheese Monday evening panel, six hot topic sessions, one embedded tutorials, one new topic session and one student activity session. 

VTS 2016 continues the tradition of featuring the Innovative Practices track. Three Specific Innovative Practice sessions dedicated to Automotive Test and Methods are scheduled on the second day of the conference. The sessions that make up this track highlight cutting-edge challenges faced by test practitioners, and innovative solutions employed to address them. 

A special Keynote talk will be given by a prominent speaker, Andrzej J. STROJWAS, Chief Technologist, PDF solutions and Keithley Professor, Carnegie Mellon University. This talk will present novel approaches to electrical characterization of the dominant failure modes, its impact on the test generation and execution, and the need for tracking this information all the way from the front end process to the test and assembly stages of IC manufacturing.

The second keynote is a tribute to the late Prof. E.J. McCluskey, entitled Digital revolution over Generations. This keynote is given by a panel of three prominent speakers belonging to three different generations, from senior to freshly-graduating. They will highlight the impact of Ed's research on today's challenges and how they have benefited from working together with him as they had to address these challenges. The three speakers are Professor Jacob Abraham, Cockrell Family Regents Chair in Engineering, University of Texas at Austin, Dr. Hong Hao, Senior Vice President, Samsung, and Mr. Max Shulaker, Stanford University.
