AEHR TEST SYSTEMS AEHR
Aehr Test Systems, Inc. ("Aehr Test," "Aehr," or "we") was incorporated in the state of California on May 25, 1977 and is headquartered in Fremont, California. We are a leading provider of test solutions for testing, burning-in, and stabilizing semiconductor devices in wafer level, singulated die, and package level, and have installed thousands of systems worldwide. Mission critical applications are driving increased quality, reliability, safety, and security needs of semiconductors. The applications include artificial intelligence ("AI"), High Performance Compute ("HPC") data centers, E-mobility (electric vehicles), electric vehicle charging infrastructure, solar and wind power, data and telecommunications infrastructure, and solid-state memory storage. The trend is driving additional test requirements, incremental capacity needs, and new opportunities for Aehr Test products and solutions. We have developed and introduced several innovative products including the FOX-PTM family of test and burn-in systems and FOX WaferPakTM Aligner, FOX WaferPak Contactor, FOX DiePak® Carrier and FOX DiePak Loader. The FOX-XP and FOX-NP systems are full wafer contact and singulated die/module test and burn-in systems that can test, burn-in, and stabilize a wide range of devices such as leading-edge silicon carbide-based and gallium nitride power semiconductors, 2D and 3D sensors used in mobile phones, tablets, and other computing devices, memory semiconductors, processors, microcontrollers, systems-on-a-chip, and photonics and integrated optical devices used in AI. The FOX-CP system is a low-cost single-wafer compact test solution for logic, memory and photonic devices and the newest addition to the FOX-P product family. The FOX WaferPak Contactor contains a unique full wafer contactor capable of testing wafers up to 300mm that enables integrated circuits ("ICs"), manufacturers to perform test, burn-in, and stabilization of full wafers on the FOX-P systems. The FOX DiePak Carrier allows testing, burn-in, and stabilization of singulated bare die and modules up to 1,024 devices in parallel per DiePak on the FOX-NP and FOX-XP systems up to nine DiePaks at a time. The introduction of the High Power FOX-XP in connection with the Sonoma Ultra high-power package level reliability/burn-in test solutions and Sonoma Ultra Automated Loader and Unloader enable Aehr the unique ability to deliver wafer level test and burn-in and package level burn-in for AI accelerators, GPUs, and HPC processors. The combination positions us well within the rapidly growing AI market as a turn-key provider of reliability and testing that span from engineering to high volume production. In combination with Sonoma, Tahoe and Echo package level burn-in systems, we provide a full range of solutions for semiconductor devices.
