March is going to be a busy month for semiconductor innovation, and we’re excited to be part of the conversations driving it forward.

From high-frequency RF calibration in Germany to quantum-ready cryogenic solutions in Colorado and scalable silicon photonics manufacturing in California, FormFactor will be connecting with engineers, researchers, and technology leaders building the next generation of devices.

If you’re working in mmWave, 6G, quantum computing, or high-volume silicon photonics test, here’s where you can connect with our team.

 

GeMiC 2026

Karlsruhe, Germany | March 9–11

FormFactor will be exhibiting at the 17th German Microwave Conference (GeMiC 2026), hosted at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. GeMiC brings together RF and microwave experts from industry, research institutes, and universities, making it a key forum for high-frequency innovation.

Live Demo: WinCal™ 5.1 with Modal Calibration

At GeMiC, we’ll be running a live demo of WinCal 5.1, highlighting a new approach to on-wafer RF calibration for high-frequency, multi-port devices.

As devices push into mmWave and sub-THz frequencies, traditional calibration methods start to show their limits, particularly when dealing with intra-probe coupling and crosstalk in dense 4-port GSSG configurations.

WinCal 5.1 introduces Modal Calibration, built on a 32-term error model that delivers more physically accurate differential and mixed-mode measurements. That translates to:

  • More confidence in mmWave device characterization
  • Reliable validation for 6G research
  • Greater accuracy in 77 GHz automotive radar testing
  • High-frequency probing up to 250 GHz with InfinityXF™ probes

Even better, you can improve traceability and automation without investing in new hardware.

If measurement accuracy at high frequencies is limiting your designs, this is a demo worth seeing.

 

APS Global Physics Summit 2026

Denver, Colorado | March 15–20

We’ll also be at the APS Global Physics Summit 2026 (formerly the APS March and April Meetings), one of the largest gatherings of physicists in the world, drawing more than 14,000 attendees from academia, national labs, and industry.

Visit FormFactor at Booth 1620

We’ll be showcasing advanced cryogenic wafer probing systems, cryogenic probes, and integrated test services designed to help quantum research teams move from experimental setups toward scalable production workflows.

As quantum devices mature, the real bottleneck isn’t theory anymore, it’s the measurement infrastructure needed to scale. If you want to advance superconducting and quantum architectures, you need repeatable, calibrated measurements at millikelvin temperatures.

Exclusive: FormFactor Open House & Advanced Cryogenic Lab Tour (March 18)

While attending APS, we invite you to tour FormFactor’s state-of-the-art facility and Advanced Cryogenic Lab in nearby Boulder.

During the tour, you’ll see:

  • A live demonstration of the Flatiron dilution refrigerator, enabling millikelvin optical benchtop and chip-scale probing
  • The IQ3000 cryogenic wafer prober
  • Advanced cryogenic probe technologies
  • A fully equipped CNC machine shop
  • Integrated cryogenic test services capabilities

It’s a unique opportunity to see firsthand how we support quantum computing, superconducting devices, and cryogenic semiconductor research, from early-stage experiments to production-ready test infrastructure.

Space is limited. Register here or stop by Booth 1620 to learn more.

 

OFC 2026

Los Angeles, California | March 15–19

FormFactor will also be exhibiting at OFC 2026 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, the premier global event for optical networking and communications.

With more than 700 exhibitors and deep technical sessions on AI-driven networking, co-packaged optics (CPO), quantum networking, and next-generation data center architectures, OFC is where the industry comes to see what’s next in high-speed connectivity.

Spotlight: TRITON™ for High-Volume Silicon Photonics Test

At OFC, we’ll highlight TRITON™, our production-ready wafer-level silicon photonics test system built for scalable, automated manufacturing.

As AI workloads drive unprecedented bandwidth demands, manufacturers need wafer-level test solutions that deliver precision, throughput, and repeatability at scale.

TRITON provides:

  • Full SECS/GEM integration for fab automation
  • Compatibility with OHT and Semi-Automated Card Changer (SACC) systems
  • Surface and edge coupling in a single platform
  • Integrated optical-electrical workflows for co-packaged optics

The result is high-throughput, low-loss optical coupling that supports everything from early R&D to high-volume wafer sort.

We’ll also showcase FormFactor’s broader silicon photonics portfolio, including advanced edge-coupling and automated probe technologies designed to accelerate time-to-yield.

 

Bridging Research and Production

Across RF, quantum, and photonics, the same question keeps coming up: how do you turn breakthrough research into something scalable and production-ready?

FormFactor’s March event lineup reflects a common mission:

  • Deliver precise, high-frequency RF calibration at mmWave and beyond
  • Enable repeatable cryogenic wafer probing for quantum systems
  • Support automated, high-volume wafer-level photonics manufacturing

From lab to fab, trusted measurement data protects yield, ensures reliability, and keeps development programs moving forward.
