This event will examine the challenges of test development efficiency in manufacturing. and aims to discuss some of the new approaches and techniques which can be adopted in Product Design and Development and to ease the challenges of DfT in the future.
After a dramatic year of merger and acquisition in the semiconductor industry, it is clear that the industry is changing rapidly and that some of the main growth drivers of the last decade are slowing dramatically. No longer can you trust that Moore’s Law will bring you the cost reduction path you have become used to or that consumers will buy a new smartphone every year which is only an incremental improvement on what they have.
So what are the next growth industries and what new testing challenges do they bring if any?
dft-hauser Reading almost any article you care to read now talks about the IoT and the Smart or Connected Car what does that mean for the kind of devices that will be made and how they will be tested on the one hand you have to have extreme volume at low cost and on the other you will have devices that are safety critical.
