Test Vision Symposium at SEMICON West 2026
The Test Vision Symposium at SEMICON West brings together semiconductor test experts and industry visionaries to explore and shape the future of testing. This year’s theme, “Tomorrow’s Test Vision” highlights the collaborative and innovative spirit driving the next wave of advancements in semiconductor testing.
As advancements in AI, advanced packaging, silicon photonics, and high-performance computing accelerate, test strategies must evolve in parallel. Increasing device complexity makes testing essential for reducing time to market, ensuring reliability, controlling costs, optimizing performance, and enabling scalable manufacturing across applications from autonomous vehicles, renewable energy to AI‑powered systems and next-generation consumer electronics.
Test Vision 2026 provides a forum for open dialogue, knowledge sharing, and forward‑looking perspectives on semiconductor testing. This year’s symposium brings the “vision” back into Test Vision—fostering collaboration, partnership, and innovation to enable the next phase of real‑time evolution in test technologies.
We invite abstracts that explore innovative test methodologies, data‑driven approaches, and solutions addressing challenges such as AI enablement, thermal management, and heterogeneous integration.
The symposium features keynote speakers, panel sessions, poster sessions, and a host of papers focused on industry trends, challenges, and solutions facing the test community. The symposium is co-located at SEMICON West and is held as an in-person event.
If you have questions, please contact the program manager and registration chair - Basak Ulutas Ozturkler from SEMI.
Stay tuned for 2026 Agenda!

Digital transformation is continuing to change the way we look at building applications. For years, enterprises have been attempting to streamline manufacturing functions and the associated supply chain by building marketplaces, “standardized” exchange formats, and monolithic systems. However, in many cases, these solutions have missed the mark, and resulted in processes that are fragmented, brittle, and unable to share data seamlessly.
Blockchain, the underlying technology behind Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency platforms, can potentially address many of these issues. The ability to share information via a shared, trusted distributed network with embedded business logic has many potential benefits for the manufacturing industry, especially when combined with techniques from the IoT and AI communities. Join this webinar to hear about enterprise blockchains, associated manufacturing use cases, and several items (including myths) that must be considered for a successful blockchain enterprise implementation.
