Today, Aehr Test Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEHR) reported that it has secured a multi-million dollar contract, marking a significant milestone in its strategic growth. The news is significantly propelling the AEHR stock on the US stock charts, up 16.31% to $13.41 as of the most recent check.
First AI Customer Order
The contract marks Aehr Test Systems’ first artificial intelligence (AI) customer order, which includes multiple high-power FOX-XP wafer-level test and burn-in systems, as well as several sets of Aehr Test’s proprietary WaferPak Contactors. This initial order, valued at over $10 million, is a significant leap forward for Aehr. The first system is set to ship immediately, with full delivery expected within 90 days.
Technological and Commercial Breakthrough
This order is not only a commercial success but also a technological breakthrough for Aehr Test Systems. For wafer-level testing and burn-in of AI processors, the customer has selected Aehr’s cutting-edge FOX-XP system after successful performance tests at the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters. In comparison to conventional techniques, the company’s patented solutions enable effective and scalable production testing, providing higher yields and lower costs.
Wafer-Level Testing Benefits
The FOX-XP multi-wafer test and burn-in equipment from Aehr provides the previously unheard-of capability of doing wafer-level production testing and burn-in for high-power devices such as AI accelerators. This system provides thermal control and thousands of watts of power per wafer, ensuring precise voltage and current delivery.
It can also operate at temperatures up to 150°C, allowing early life failures to be detected and eliminated before devices are integrated into modules. This process significantly enhances yield while offering substantial cost savings.
With the successful demonstration of this system and the expected shipments in the current fiscal quarter, Aehr Test Systems is poised to further expand its market presence and solidify its leadership in the AI and semiconductor testing industries.
