Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ: AEHR), a worldwide
supplier of semiconductor test and reliability qualification
equipment, today announced it has received a $2.9 million follow-on
order for a FOX-XP™ Wafer Level Test and Burn-in system and
multiple WaferPak™ Contactors from its lead silicon carbide
customer to provide additional capacity for production test and
burn-in of the customer’s line of silicon
carbide devices. This system is expected to ship during Aehr’s
current fiscal first quarter ending August 31, 2021.
This customer is a leading Fortune 500 supplier of semiconductor
devices with a significant customer base in the automotive
semiconductor market, and is using Aehr’s FOX-XP system’s unique
test and burn-in capabilities to ensure the highest device quality
for high volume production burn-in and infant mortality screening
of silicon carbide devices at wafer level for electric vehicle
power modules. The FOX-XP system is configured to test eighteen
silicon carbide wafers in parallel while contacting and testing
100% of the devices on each wafer.
Gayn Erickson, President and CEO of Aehr Test Systems,
commented, “We are excited to receive this additional follow-on
order from our lead silicon carbide customer for another FOX-XP
system and multiple WaferPaks, reflecting their increased test
capacity needs as they ramp to high volume wafer level production
test of silicon carbide modules for an electric vehicle
application. The electric vehicle market is about to see incredible
growth, and we expect this customer will order a significant number
of FOX™ systems, WaferPaks and related consumables that they have
forecasted to purchase from Aehr over the next several years.
“Silicon carbide continues to be promising as a key growth
driver for Aehr, and we anticipate that silicon carbide wafer level
burn-in will become the industry standard for low cost and 100%
traceability for burn-in and reliability screening. The power
semiconductor market for electric vehicles is expected to triple
between 2020 and 2026, growing at a 25.7% CAGR to $5.6 billion,
according to a March 2021 report from Yole Développement research.
In addition, a July 2020 report from Deloitte forecasts total EV
sales will grow from 2.5 million in 2020 to 11.2 million in
2025, a CAGR of 29%, before reaching 31.1 million by 2030 and
securing approximately 32% of the total market share for new
car sales.”
The FOX-XP system, available with multiple WaferPak Contactors
(full wafer test) or multiple DiePakTM Carriers (singulated
die/module test) configurations, is 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 formfactor, before they are assembled into single or
multi-die stacked packages, or in singulated die or module form
factor.
About Aehr Test SystemsHeadquartered 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 Test has developed and introduced
several innovative products, including the ABTSTM and FOX-PTM
families of test and burn-in systems and FOX WaferPakTM Aligner,
FOX-XP WaferPak Contactor, FOX DiePak® Carrier and FOX DiePak
Loader. The ABTS system is used in production and qualification
testing of packaged parts for both lower power and higher power
logic devices as well as all common types of memory devices. The
FOX-XP and FOX-NP systems are full wafer contact and singulated
die/module test and burn-in systems used for burn-in and functional
test of complex devices, such as leading-edge memories, digital
signal processors, microprocessors, microcontrollers,
systems-on-a-chip, and integrated optical devices. The FOX-CP
system is a new low-cost single-wafer compact test and reliability
verification solution for logic, memory and photonic devices and
the newest addition to the FOX-P product family. The WaferPak
contactor contains a unique full wafer probe card capable of
testing wafers up to 300mm that enables IC manufacturers to perform
test and burn-in of full wafers on Aehr Test FOX systems. The
DiePak Carrier is a reusable, temporary package that enables IC
manufacturers to perform cost-effective final test and burn-in of
both bare die and modules. For more information, please visit Aehr
