The IEEE VLSI Test Symposium (VTS) explores emerging trends and novel concepts in test, validation, yield, reliability and security of microelectronic circuits and systems.


The 2021 edition of VTS will be an online virtual interactive live event.

The symposium will take place online as an interactive virtual program on April 26-28 7:00-10:15AM PT (16:00-19:15 CET).

The program includes keynotes, scientific paper presentations, short industrial application paper presentations, special sessions and Innovative Practices sessions.

Given the unique opportunity of reaching the worldwide test community through a virtual event registration rate for authors and attendees will be a fraction of our registration rate for VTS’20.

News for authors: Starting from 2021, VTS review process is DOUBLE BLIND with REBUTTAL, for both scientific papers and industrial application short papers. The references do not count towards the page limit.

You are invited to participate and submit your contributions to VTS’21. The areas of interest include (but are not limited to) the following topics:
