Aehr Shares Soar on New Order

Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ:AEHR) shares gained ground Tuesday on winning an order from a current silicon photonics customer for four other FOX-NP systems. The financial terms were not disclosed.

The systems will support the characterization and product qualification of new photonics-based devices.

The FOX-NP and FOX-XP systems, available with multiple WaferPak Contactors (full wafer test) or multiple DiePak TM Carriers (singulated die/module test) configurations, are capable of functional test and burn-in/cycling of integrated devices such as silicon carbide power devices, silicon photonics as well as other optical devices, 2D and 3D sensors, flash memories, Gallium Nitride (GaN), magnetic sensors, microcontrollers, and other leading-edge ICs in either wafer form factor, before they are assembled into single or multi-die stacked packages, or in singulated die or module form factor

The FOX-NP systems will likely ship over the next six to seven months.

CEO Gayn Erickson commented, "This customer, one of the world's largest semiconductor manufacturers, continues to use Aehr for wafer-level burn-in and stabilization of their silicon photonics wafers and is adding these FOX-NP systems for a new photonics-based device application."

Headquartered in Fremont, California, Aehr Test Systems is a worldwide provider of test systems for burning-in and testing logic, optical and memory integrated circuits and has installed over 2,500 systems worldwide.

Increased quality and reliability needs of the Automotive and Mobility integrated circuit markets are driving additional test requirements, incremental capacity needs, and new opportunities for Aehr Test products in package, wafer level, and singulated die/module level test.

AEHR shares traded higher by 98 cents, or 6.3%, at $16.36 at the open on Tuesday.
