      Aehr Test Systems provides systems to burn-in and test integrated circuits, memory chips, optical chips, and optical sensors on a worldwide basis. There are more than 2,500 AEHR systems in operation worldwide. In addition to the FOX WaferPakTM Aligner, FOX WaferPakTM Contactor, FOX DiePak Carrier, and FOX DiePak Loader, AEHR has developed and introduced various innovative testing and burn-in products.

      With AEHR’s WaferPak contactors, IC manufacturers can test and burn-in full wafers up to 300 mm using AEHR’s FOX systems for testing. In order to perform cost-effective final testing and burn-in of bare dies and modules, AEHR developed the DiePak Carrier, which is a disposable, reusable package.

      One of Aehr Test’s lead silicon carbide test and burn-in customers has placed a $10.8 million order for multiple FOX-XP systems.

      • Additionally, the order includes AEHR’s full sets of WaferPak Contactors to support their growing production capacity requirements.
      • AEHR’s customer is an automotive semiconductor device supplier that is ranked among the Fortune 500.
      • As soon as six months from now, AEHR expects to ship those FOX systems and WaferPaks.
      • With this FOX-XP silicon carbide system, eighteen silicon carbide wafers can be tested simultaneously in the footprint of a typical single wafer test solution with 100% of the devices being tested simultaneously, on every wafer.
      • In addition to testing 100mm and 150mm silicon carbide wafers, the AEHR system can also test 200mm wafers expected in the near future.
      • All WaferPak Contactors, WaferPak Aligners, and Test Systems are integrated into one system from AEHR.
      • A number of additional FOX systems and WaferPak Contactors will be ordered by this customer in the current fiscal year, and this customer expects to place a significant number of systems and WaferPaks over the next few years due to the demand for electronic vehicles.

      What does this order mean for AEHR?

      In order to meet the customer’s test requirements, AEHR worked closely with this customer to obtain additional FOX-XP systems and WaferPaks. The order verifies AEHR’s FOX-P platform and WaferPak full wafer contactors as production-qualified. AEHR stock seems to be continuing the rally it has started after posting encouraging quarterly results last week.
