There is still time to register for COMPASS 2022. Whether you plan to attend for just one presentation or the entire conference, here’s what you need to know.

COMPASS is FormFactor’s user conference, which brings together customers and experts from around the world to discuss the products and technologies that are shaping our future. Industry leaders and speakers from corporations, leading-edge research institutions and FormFactor share test insights on the semiconductor market today and a variety of emerging on-wafer test and measurement applications, such as advanced packaging, high-power semiconductors, automotive devices, high-speed digital, silicon photonics, and 5G/6G/millimeter-wave mobile devices.

The keynote speaker this year is Guillaume Girardin, Chief Technology Officer at Yole Intelligence – part of Yole Group – and titled Semiconductor Industry: beachheads that drive the innovation. Semiconductor wafer suppliers and more generally other upstream semiconductor material providers continue to enjoy strong demand from chipmakers. However, with an expected demand that should weaken, what are we facing in the next couple of years? Upcoming challenges are numerous, but innovation is still predominant. When touching at the realm of innovative technologies in areas such as 5G, future of computing, or silicon carbide, advanced packaging or silicon photonics, let’s review the most innovative areas of the semiconductor industry.
