VTS 2012 Best Paper award [includes Best Special Session Award]

Each year, VTS proudly presents the Best Paper Award to the author(s) of the most outstanding paper from those presented at the previous year's symposium. The candidates for this honor are initially selected based solely on the numerical ratings of the reviewers and symposium attendees, as recorded on the review forms and the session rating cards. The Best Paper Award Judges then carefully review the candidate papers as published in the proceedings. The judges provide numerical scores and comments for each candidate paper. The scores and comments are compiled to select the best paper. The paper selected by VTS 2012 Best Paper Award Judges for the Best Paper Award is: "Session 5A.1: Direct Connection and Testing of TSV and Microbump Devices using NanoPierce Contactor" by Onnik Yaglioglu and Ben Eldridge of FormFactor Inc. This year's Award selection committee members are also listed.
