Company Overview
A R&D partner for speed-up the time to market
iST, a third party laboratory for verification and analysis of the electronic industry, , was founded in 1994. In the initial stage of Asia’s semiconductor industry, iST began its business from IC circuit edit (FIB), which had changed the existing verification model in the entire semiconductor industry. We assist customers in IC debugging and analysis to strengthen product quality and reliability, acting as a R&D partner to solve customer’s pain point and speed up the time to market.
As industry technologies and applications evolve, iST has continuously expanded its service portfolio. Today, our offerings encompass Failure Analysis(FA), Reliability Assurance (RA), Material Analysis (MA), High-Speed Signal Testing , Chemical Analysis ,, and a comprehensive suite of technical consultancy. We have built a robust, end-to-end verification and analysis engineering platform, serving the entire spectrum of the electronics industry, from upstream IC design to downstream system and end-product applications.
In response to the rapid advancement of cloud computing, mobile devices, IoT, automotive electronics, and artificial intelligence, iST continues to invest in critical verification capabilities, including Advanced Process and Packaging, Automotive Electronics, AI, Silicon Photonics (CPO), and space-grade environmental testing. We remain committed to helping our clients navigate and overcome the challenges of next-generation technologies.
Independent Third-Party Laboratory for Quality Assurance
iST has been accredited by multiple international credible organizations. With increased outsourcing by major international brands, iST continues to play the role of an independent and objective laboratory, and has obtained verification and certification qualifications from major global brands and associations to ensure the highest standards of quality assurance.
Extending from Verification to Test Interface Solutions
In response to the practical needs of customers in the late stage of product development and mass production introduction, iST integrates our capabilities in verification, analysis, testing, and simulation to expand into hardware solutions. We provide a one stop service including SI PI simulation design, PCR conductive adhesive, engineering boards, testing fixtures, load boards, and probe cards. This helps to solve the verification pain points of AI, automotive, and high speed transmission chips during the R&D stage, significantly improving testing stability and speeding up the time to market.
Expanding Globally, Advancing with Industry Trends
Headquartered in Taiwan, iST continues to expand its global service network. We have established operation and technical centers in major industry clusters across Asia and America, including China, Japan, the US, and Malaysia. We are dedicated to providing customers with more prompt, complete, and forward looking high quality technical services, growing in sync with the global semiconductor and electronics industry trends.
Vision and Values
“iST’s value is continuing to create value for our customers.”
More than 30 years ago, iST was only a small laboratory in a humble apartment and the personnel was limited to 5. However, now the employees of iSTgroup are more than 1000. From the original site to today’s main building, it only takes 30 minutes by walk, but it took iST over 30 years, hacking way through difficulties and enduring great hardships in pioneer work; we constantly push for innovation to reach today’s achievement.
As the third party laboratory, iST, upholds the integrity, and be strict for every detail; provide solutions with responsibility; fight alongside customers with cordial services; And continue to innovate, standing on the cutting edge to provide customers better test methods.

Create the most value for customers
We have the pleasure to be part of the history of global IoT industry. Accumulating thousands of solutions and technology core platforms; staying in step with international standards, even creating new expectations. We keep firing up for our goal in the past, present or future “Create the most value for customers.”
